Hello!

The answer is:
T(\°C)=204.44\°C

Why?

To convert from Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius degrees, we must use the following formula:


T(\°C)=(T(\°C)-32)*(5)/(9)

We are given the temperature: 400°F

So, converting we have:


T(\°C)=(400\°F-32)*(5)/(9)=368*(5)/(9)=204.44\°C

Hence, the 400°F is equal to 204.44°C.

Have a nice day!
