Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘c, which corresponds to 32∘f, and that it boils at 100∘c, which corresponds t

o 212∘f, calculate the temperature difference δt in degrees fahrenheit that corresponds to a temperature difference of 1 k on the kelvin scale.

The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F
