Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by: $$ C = rac{5}{9}(F - 32) $$ where $C$ is the temperature in Celsius and $F$ is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
-
Plug in the Value
We are given $F = 250°F$. Plugging this value into the formula, we get: $$ C = rac{5}{9}(250 - 32) $$
-
Simplify the Expression
Simplifying the expression, we get: $$ C = rac{5}{9}(218) $$ $$ C = 121.11°C $$
The final answer is 121.11°C
