If a thermometer reads 850oF, what is the equivalent temperature in oC?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 454°C.
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), the formula is: °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9.
Plugging in the given temperature of 850°F, we get: °C = (850 - 32) x 5/9 = 454°C.
The other answer choices are incorrect because:
B) 490°C is too low, C) 1,472°C is too high, and D) 1,585°C is also too high.
