Each degree in Celsius is equivalent to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 0 degrees Celsius.
The conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by the following formula:
[tex]F = 1.8c + 32[/tex]
F is the initial temperature in Fahrenheit. c is the temperature in Celsius. We'll solve for c.
The initial temperature is 367 degrees Fahrenheit. Plug this into the equation:
[tex]367 = 1.8c + 32[/tex]
Subtract 32 from both sides:
[tex]335 = 1.8c[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.8 to get c by itself:
[tex]c = 186.11[/tex]
The melting point of sugar on the Celsius scale is 186.11 degrees.
