Correct the word in bold.

To obtain an equal temperature in Kelvins, you add 173.15 to the Celsius degrees.

• 273.15

• 73.15

• 0

• 32

 

Correct the formula in bold.

To obtain an equivalent temperature in Celsius for a Fahrenheit reading, use the formula T=273.15+°C.

• 5/9(°F - 32) = °C

• (9/5 * °C) + 32 = °F

• T - 273.15 = °C

• (9/5 * °C) - 32 = °F
