Question

What is $-{15}^{\circ }\mathrm{F}$ in degrees Celsius and in kelvins?

Short answer

$-26.1^{o}Cand246.9K$

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

Temperature = $-{15}^{o}F$

Explanation

using the formulas,

${}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}=\left({}^{\circ }\mathrm{F}-32\right)\times 5/9$

Temperature = $\frac{-15-32}{1.8}=-{26.1}^{\circ }\mathrm{C}$

$K=\left[\frac{F-32}{1.8}\right]+273$

$\left[\frac{-15-32}{1.8}\right]+273=246.9\mathrm{K}$
