Answer

a)4.2K is equivalent to -269°C 4.2K is equivalent to -452°F b)77.4K is equivalent to -196°C 77.4K is equivalent to -321°F

Work Step by Step

Knowing that it takes 180°F to cover the same temperature interval as 100°C we use the following formulas to convert the temperatures _°C=K-273 _°F=(x°C ×1.8°F/1.0°C)+32 The conversion of Kelvin to Celsius is direct using the formula above but to convert the Kelvin to Fahrenheit we first convert the Kelvin to Celsius temperature then from there we can use the formula above to convert the Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit
