Expert Answer

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then add 32 to the result. For example, if you have a Celsius temperature of 20 degrees, the conversion would be 20×95+32=6820×59+32=68. Therefore, 20 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit number. The multiply by 5, and divide by 9.

Question

How do I convert absolute zero on the Kelvin scale to the temperature on Fahrenheit scale?

Donagan

Top Answerer

°F = (1.8)(K - 273) + 32. When K is zero, the formula becomes (1.8)(-273) + 32 = -491.4 + 32 = -459.4°F. (That answer is an approximation, because -273 is an approximation. The actual number is -273.15, making the actual answer -459.67°F.)

Multiply the Kelvin temperature by 9/5, and then subtract 459.67. Thus, T(°F) = [T(K) x 9/5] - 459.67.
