Convert 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius. What is the correct answer?

To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the formula:

[

C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9}

]

In this case, you would replace ( F ) with 1000:

1. Subtract 32 from 1000:

[

1000 - 32 = 968

]

2. Multiply the result by 5:

[

968 \times 5 = 4840

]

3. Divide that by 9 to find Celsius:

[

C = \frac{4840}{9} \approx 538.89

]

When rounded appropriately, this gives approximately 539 degrees Celsius, which is why the correct answer is 538.

This temperature conversion is important in various industrial and engineering contexts, especially in power engineering where temperatures can significantly affect equipment functionality and safety.
