If you have a temperature of 29.6 C, what is the value in K? (follow sig figs and only enter numbers).

Answer 1

Add 273.15 to ºC to get K

When adding numbers, sig figs is based on the value with the fewest decimal places.

29.6 + 273.15 = 302.75ºC

Since 29.6 has 1 decimal place, we round our answer to 1 decimal place = 302.8ºC

Answer 2

Hello, Dylan,

To convert C into K, just add 273.15. 29.6 C + 273.15 = 303, with 3 sig figs.
