Question

In Ray Bradbury's 1953 novel Fahrenheit 451, 451°F is said to be the temperature at which books, which have been banned in the story, ignite. Convert 451°F to the Celsius scale.

Answer 1

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is,
`232.78^oC`

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Fahrenheit to degree Celsius is:

`^oC=(^oF-32)* (5)/(9)`

where,

`^oF` = temperature in Fahrenheit

`^oC` = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Fahrenheit is, 451

Now we have to determine the temperature in degree Celsius.

`^oC=(^oF-32)* (5)/(9)`

`^oC=(451^oF-32)* (5)/(9)`

`^oC=232.78`

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is,
`232.78^oC`
