Convert `-40^(@)F` into Celsius and Kelvin scale

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To convert it into Celsius scale, use the formula
`(C)/(5)=(F-32)/(9)`
substituting F=-40, we get `(C)/(5)=(-40-32)/(9)`
`(C)/(5)=(-72)/(9)`
`(C)/(5)=-8`
`C=-40^(@)C`
Temperature in Kelvin scale is gien by
`T=C+273`
Substituting C=-40, we get
`T=-40+273`
`=233K`
