Mercury's rounded mean temperature is 333°F. Convert it to degrees Celsius and check the result by converting back to Fahrenheit.

Worked solution

Use °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Substitute 333: (333 − 32) × 5/9 = 167.222…, so the rounded result is approximately 167°C. Check with °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32; using the unrounded Celsius value returns approximately 333°F.
