50F = (50-32)*5/9 C = 10 C

10 C = 10 + 273 = 283K

Answer is 283K

Answer:

50 F = 283 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature in Fahrenheit = 50⁰F

To determine:

The corresponding temperature in Kelvin (K)

Formula:

Temperature can be expressed in terms of degrees celsius (C), Fahrenheit(F) or Kelvin (K). The three units are interconvertible.

F to K conversion:

Temperature in K =
(F-32)*5/9 +273 = (50-32)*5/9 + 273 = 283 K
