Question

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is D. 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin :

K=^oC+273

Conversion of degree Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit :

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32

By using these two conversion factors, we get the three temperature readings all mean the same thing.

For option A :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option B :

K=^oC+273=100+273=373K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 100)+32=212^oF

For option C :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

For option D :

K=^oC+273=0+273=273K

^oF=(\frac{9}{5}\times ^oC)+32=(\frac{9}{5}\times 0)+32=32^oF

From the given options, only option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) 273 Kelvin, 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Hope this helps!
