Question

The temperature in degrees Kelvin is 273 degrees more than the temperature in degrees Celsius. Use the formula C=5/9(F−32) to write a formula for the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit F in terms of the temperature in degrees Kelvin K.

Answer 1

Answer:

K= 5/9(F - 32) + 273

Step-by-step explanation:

If K = C + 273 (the formula for Degrees Celsius to Kelvin),

and C = 5/9(F - 32) (the formula for Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Celsius),

then using the substitution method, we can substitute the equation for Celsius into the place of Celsius in the Kelvin equation, giving us

K = 5/9(F - 32) + 273.
