suppose that a recipe calls for an oven temperature of 500 F convert this temperature to kelvin’s

Answer 1

To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:

\[ K = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} + 273.15 \]

where \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

For 500°F:

1. Subtract 32 from 500: \[ 500 - 32 = 468 \]

2. Multiply by 5/9: \[ 468 \times \frac{5}{9} \approx 260 \]

3. Add 273.15: \[ 260 + 273.15 = 533.15 \]

Therefore, 500°F is approximately 533.15 K.
