How to convert fahrenheit to kelvins

Question

The temperature of your armpit in kelvins (21°F) is equal to it's temperature in celsius plus 273

Answer 1

Think about it like this:

 

At 100C, water boils.  At 0 C, water freezes.  100 - 0 = 100

 

At 212 F, water boils.  At 32 F, water freezes.  212 - 32 = 180

 

Therefore, each C degree is = to 180/100, or 9/5 of an F degree.

 

At 373 K, water boils.  At 273 K, water freezes.

 

Therefore, K - 273 = C, and C + 273 = K

 

Also, (100C x 9/5) + 32 = F

 

Suggestion: draw three thermometers vertically and side by side.  Label one K, one C, and one F.  Place the respective temperatures of freezing and boiling water on each at the same horizontal level.
