Math Problem Statement

a. Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the body is 313 K. b. If the temperature is 158°F, then find the temperature in Kelvin.

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the two questions given in the image:

The relationship between Kelvin (xx in K) and Fahrenheit (yFy^\circ F) is provided by the linear equation: y=95(x273)+32y = \frac{9}{5}(x - 273) + 32

a. Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the body is 313 K.

To solve this, substitute x=313Kx = 313 \, K into the equation: y=95(313273)+32=95(40)+32=72+32=104Fy = \frac{9}{5}(313 - 273) + 32 = \frac{9}{5}(40) + 32 = 72 + 32 = 104^\circ F So, the temperature in Fahrenheit is 104°F.

b. If the temperature is 158°F, then find the temperature in Kelvin.

Now, we reverse the process. We are given y=158Fy = 158^\circ F and need to find xx (the temperature in Kelvin): 158=95(x273)+32158 = \frac{9}{5}(x - 273) + 32 First, subtract 32 from both sides: 15832=95(x273)158 - 32 = \frac{9}{5}(x - 273) 126=95(x273)126 = \frac{9}{5}(x - 273) Multiply both sides by 59\frac{5}{9}: 59×126=x273\frac{5}{9} \times 126 = x - 273 70=x27370 = x - 273 Now, add 273 to both sides: x=70+273=343Kx = 70 + 273 = 343 \, K So, the temperature in Kelvin is 343 K.
