Question

Which is the lower temperature (a) 245°C or 245°F(b) 200 °C or 375°F

Answer 1

(a) 245 °F

(b) 375 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the temperature, we need to convert the temperatures to the same unit. So, let's convert Fahrenheit to Celsius using the following equation:

`C=(5)/(9)(F-32)`

So, replacing F by 245 °F and 375 °C, we get:

`\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(245-32) \\ C=(5)/(9)(213) \\ C=118.33\degree C \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(375-32) \\ C=(5)/(9)(343) \\ C=190.55\text{ }\degree C \end{gathered}`

Now, we can compare the temperature.

Since 118.33 °C is lower than 245°C, we get that 245 °F is lower than 245°C

Since 190.55 °C is lower than 200 °C, we get that 375 °F is lower than 200°C

So, the answers are:

(a) 245 °F

(b) 375 °F
