Answer:

273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

The most usual temperature scales are Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and they are related by the equation:


(Tc)/(5) = (Tfr-32)/(9) =(Tk-273)/(5)

Where Tc is the temperature in degress Celsius, Tfr, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and Tk the temperature in Kelvin. So, for Tc = 0ºC:

0/5 = (Tfr-32)/9

Tfr - 32 = 0

Tfr = 32ºF

0/5 = (Tk-273)/5

Tk - 273 = 0

Tk = 273K
