Answer

A temperature of $-127^{\circ}F$ is $-88.3^{\circ}C$ or $185~K$ A temperature of $136^{\circ}F$ is $57.8^{\circ}C$ or $331~K$

Work Step by Step

We can convert $-127^{\circ}F$ to Celsius as: $C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ $C = \frac{5}{9}(-127-32)$ $C = -88.3$ We can convert this temperature to Kelvin as: $K = C+273$ $K = (-88.3)+273$ $K = 185$ A temperature of $-127^{\circ}F$ is $-88.3^{\circ}C$ or $185~K$. We can convert $136^{\circ}F$ to Celsius as: $C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ $C = \frac{5}{9}(136-32)$ $C = 57.8$ We can convert this temperature to Kelvin as: $K = C+273$ $K = 57.8+273$ $K = 331$ A temperature of $136^{\circ}F$ is $57.8^{\circ}C$ or $331~K$.
