Question

Arrange the temperatures 40 ºF, 40 ºC, and 40 K from highest to lowest.

Answer 1

Answer: 40 Celsius, 40 Fahrenheit, and 40 Kelvin

Work: I just converted them to Fahrenheit, and here's their Fahrenheit form, and with this information, I put them from highest to lowest.

- 40 Kelvin: -387.67 degrees

- 40 Celsius: 104 degrees

I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

40 °C > 40 °F > 40 K

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

• Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion: C = 5/9(F - 32)
• Celsius to Kelvin Conversion: K = C + 273.15  

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

40 °F

40 °C

40 K

Step 2: Convert

40 °F = 5/9(40 - 32) = 4.4444... °C = 4.4444... + 273.15 = 277.594 K

40 °C = 40 + 273.15 = 313.15 K

Step 3: Compare

40 K < 277.594 K < 313.15 K

40 K < 40 °F < 40 °C

40 °C > 40 °F > 40 K
