Question

if a thermometer outside your classroom indicates a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit, what is the temperature in degrees Celsius? In kelvin?

Answer 1

32 degrees fahrenheit equals 0 degrees celsius, so if you have the fahrenheit degrees and want to go to celsius, just subtract 32. To go from celsius to kelvin, add 273 because 0 degrees celsius equal 273 degrees kelvin.

Fahrenheit → Celcius:

61 - 32 = 29

61 F° = 29 C°

Celsius → Kelvin

29 + 273 = 302

Your answer should be:

61 F° = 29 C° = 302 K°

Answer 2

16.11C and 289.26K

Explanation:

The formula for converting Farenheit to Celsius is

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

Let us put F = 61

(61-32)*(5/9)=C

29*5/9=16.11

Hence 61F=16.11C

The formula for converting Farenheit to Kelvin is

(F-32)*(5/9)+273.15=K

Putting value of F as 61 we get

K=16.11+273.15=289.26

Hence 61F=289.26K
