Answer:
C = K - 273.15
Explanation:
A kelvin is the same size as a Celsius degree.
Absolute zero is 0 K and the freezing point of water is 273.15 K.
To get the freezing point of water to be 0 °C, we must subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin reading (see Figure).
C = K – 273.15
C = 273.15 – 273.15
C = 0 °C
To get absolute zero on the Celsius scale, we repeat the process.
C = 0 – 273.15
C = –273.15 °C
