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:

$^oC=(^oF-32)\times \frac{5}{9}$

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.

$^oC=(^oF-32)\times \frac{5}{9}$

$^oC=(451^oF-32)\times \frac{5}{9}$

$^oC=232.78$

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