    Question

    The temperature in degrees Celsius is 32 less than the Fahrenheit temperature, multiplied by five ninths. The temperature in degree Kelvin is the number of degrees Celsius plus 273.

    Identify the conversion formula for finding the number of degrees Kelvin, given the temperature in Fahren he it.

    1. K = 9 over 5 (F - 32) + 273 
    2. K = 5 over 9 (F - 32)
    3. K = 5 over 9 (F + 32) - 273
    4. K = 5 over 9 (F - 32) + 273

    hintHint:

    Given: C = 5 over 9 (F - 32) 
    And K = C + 273
    Combine those two equations together

    The correct answer is: K = 5 over 9 (F - 32) + 273

      Let the temperature in degree Celsius be C, the temperature in Fahrenheit be F and the temperature in Kelvin be K.
      Given: C = 5 over 9 (F - 32) ----------------------Eq 1
      And K = C + 273 ----------------------------Eq 2
      From eq 1 and eq 2 we get,
      K = 5 over 9 (F - 32) + 273
