Question

question 2. drag and drop the correct temperature conversion formulas into the table below. conversion type formula celsius to fahrenheit fahrenheit to celsius celsius to kelvin kelvin to celsius

Explanation:

Celsius to Fahrenheit

The formula for converting Celsius (\(^{\circ}C\)) to Fahrenheit (\(^{\circ}F\)) is \(^{\circ}F = 1.8(^{\circ}C)+32\). This is because the Fahrenheit scale has a different zero - point and a different degree size compared to Celsius. The conversion accounts for both the offset and the scaling factor.

Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert from Fahrenheit (\(^{\circ}F\)) to Celsius (\(^{\circ}C\)), we use the formula \(^{\circ}C=\frac{(^{\circ}F - 32)}{1.8}\). We first subtract the offset of 32 (the difference in the zero - points of the two scales) and then divide by the scaling factor of 1.8 (since 1 degree Fahrenheit is \(\frac{5}{9}\approx0.556\) of a degree Celsius, and \(1.8=\frac{9}{5}\)).

Celsius to Kelvin

The formula for converting Celsius (\(^{\circ}C\)) to Kelvin (\(K\)) is \(K = ^{\circ}C+273.15\). The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is absolute zero. The Celsius scale has its zero - point at the freezing point of water (\(0^{\circ}C\)), and the conversion just adds the offset of 273.15 to get to the Kelvin scale.

Kelvin to Celsius

To convert from Kelvin (\(K\)) to Celsius (\(^{\circ}C\)), we use the formula \(^{\circ}C=K - 273.15\). Since \(K = ^{\circ}C+273.15\), we can solve for \(^{\circ}C\) by subtracting 273.15 from \(K\).

Answer:

Conversion Type	Formula
Fahrenheit to Celsius	\(^{\circ}C=\frac{(^{\circ}F - 32)}{1.8}\)
Celsius to Kelvin	\(K = ^{\circ}C+273.15\)
Kelvin to Celsius	\(^{\circ}C=K - 273.15\)
