Question

A recipe calls for an oven to be preheated to 400°F. What is the approximate temperature of the preheated oven in Celsius degrees? (Use the formula °C = (°F - 32) / 1.8)

a) 225 °C
b) 204 °C
c) 368 °C
d) 375 °C

Answer 1

To convert 400°F to Celsius, use the formula °C = (°F - 32) / 1.8. The resulting temperature is approximately 204°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate temperature of a preheated oven in Celsius when given a temperature in Fahrenheit, we can use the conversion formula °C = (°F - 32) / 1.8. The recipe calls for an oven to be preheated to 400°F. Applying the formula, we have:

°C = (400 - 32) / 1.8

°C = 368 / 1.8

°C = 204.44

When rounded to the nearest whole number, the oven should be preheated to approximately 204°C.
