Question

The formula K=5/9(F−32)+273.15 converts temperatures from Fahrenheit F to Kelvin K.

a. Solve the formula for F.

b. The freezing point of water is 273.15 Kelvin. What is this temperature in Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

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

b. F = 32°F

Explanation:

K=5/9(F−32)+273.15

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

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

F = 32
