Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Given temperature values;

200°F , 200°C and 200K

To solve this problem, convert all the given values to the same unit.

Let us choose kelvin as our standard here;

°F → °C → K

200°F;

(°F − 32) ×
(5)/(9) = °C

Insert the parameters;

(200 - 32) x
(5)/(9) = 93.3°C

So;

°K = 273 + °C = 273 + 93.3 = 366.3K

For 200°C;

°K = 273 + °C = 273 + 200 = 473K

The highest temperature is 200°C
