Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze and solve the two questions given in the image:
The relationship between Kelvin ( in K) and Fahrenheit () is provided by the linear equation:
a. Find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit if the temperature of the body is 313 K.
To solve this, substitute into the equation: 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 and need to find (the temperature in Kelvin): First, subtract 32 from both sides: Multiply both sides by : Now, add 273 to both sides: So, the temperature in Kelvin is 343 K.
Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are five related questions to expand on this:
- How can you convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius using a similar formula?
- What is the equivalent temperature of 0 Kelvin in Fahrenheit?
- How does this conversion formula change for Celsius to Kelvin?
- What happens when negative temperatures in Fahrenheit are converted to Kelvin?
- Can you graph this linear relationship between Kelvin and Fahrenheit for different temperatures?
Tip: When working with temperature conversions, always ensure you use the correct constants for each formula!
