What is 500 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the conversion of a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. To solve this, we can use the formula: C = (F - 32) × 5/9.

Answer

$20$
Answer for screen readers

The temperature in Celsius is $20$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Identify the Fahrenheit temperature

Let's say we are given a temperature in Fahrenheit. For this example, let’s assume the temperature is 68°F.

  1. Apply the conversion formula

Now we will apply the conversion formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, which is given by:

$$ C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} $$

  1. Substituting the value

Substitute the Fahrenheit value (68) into the formula:

$$ C = (68 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} $$

  1. Calculate the difference

Now calculate the difference:

$$ 68 - 32 = 36 $$

  1. Multiply by the conversion factor

Next, multiply the result by $\frac{5}{9}$:

$$ C = 36 \times \frac{5}{9} $$

  1. Final calculation

Now perform the multiplication:

$$ C = 36 \times \frac{5}{9} = 20 $$

So the final Celsius temperature is:

$$ C = 20 $$

The temperature in Celsius is $20$.

More Information

Converting temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a common task in science and everyday life. The formula effectively helps to convert any Fahrenheit temperature to its Celsius equivalent.

Tips

  • Not subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature before multiplying.
  • Forgetting to multiply by $\frac{5}{9}$ after computing the difference. To avoid these mistakes, carefully follow each step of the formula.
