Question

The temperature of an oven is set to 350°F. If a recipe requires baking at 180°C, what is the equivalent temperature in Fahrenheit?

a) 350°F
b) 320°F
c) 300°F
d) 250°F

Answer 1

To convert 180°C to Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (C \times 9/5) + 32. Applying this to 180°C gives you 356°F, which can be approximated to 350°F, the nearest answer choice provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the following formula:

F = (C \times 9/5) + 32

Where F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius. In this case, we want to convert 180°C to Fahrenheit.

Applying the formula:

F = (180 \times 9/5) + 32

F = (180 \times 1.8) + 32

F = 324 + 32

F = 356°F

Since 356°F is not one of the options given and might be a result of approximation during conversion, it can be rounded down to the nearest option which is 350°F (option a), assuming a margin for calibration differences in ovens.
