Answer

a. $312.4$ K, $102.68$ F b. $248$ K, $-13$ F c. $0$ K, $24598$ F d. $1073$ K, $1470$ F

Work Step by Step

For converting temperature from Celsius to Kelvin we use following formula: $$K = C + 273.15\tag{1}$$ For converting temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit we use following formula : $$F=\frac{9}{5}\cdot C + 32.\tag{2}$$ a) We substitute $C=39.2$ in equations $(1)$ and $(2)$: $$\begin{aligned} K&=39.2+273.15=312.4\\ F&=\dfrac{9}{5}\cdot 39.2+32=102.6 \end{aligned}$$ b) We substitute $C=-25$ in equations $(1)$ and $(2)$: $$\begin{aligned} K&=-25+273.15\approx 248\\ F&=\dfrac{9}{5}\cdot (-25)+32=-13 \end{aligned}$$ c) We substitute $C=-273$ in equations $(1)$ and $(2)$: $$\begin{aligned} K&=-273+273.15\approx 0\\ F&=\dfrac{9}{5}\cdot (-273)+32\approx -459 \end{aligned}$$ d) We substitute $C=801$ in equations $(1)$ and $(2)$: $$\begin{aligned} K&=801+273.15\approx 1073\\ F&=\dfrac{9}{5}\cdot (801)+32\approx1470 \end{aligned}$$
