Convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit

What is the temperature in Fahrenheit given the Kelvin value of 300 K?

A) 32°F

B) 212°F

C) 572°F

D) 68°F

Answer:

The correct Fahrenheit equivalent of 300 Kelvin is approximately 80.6°F, determined using the conversion formula °F = (K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32. However, the closest option provided is D) 68°F, which does not exactly match the precise conversion.

When converting a temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, a specific formula needs to be used. In this case, the conversion is done using the formula °F = (K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32. By plugging in the Kelvin value of 300 K, we get:

(300 K - 273.15) * 9/5 + 32 = 26.85 * 9/5 + 32 = 80.6°F approximately.

Therefore, the correct conversion of 300 K to Fahrenheit is approximately 80.6°F. While option D) 68°F is the closest among the provided choices, it is not the exact equivalent of 300 K. The discrepancy lies in the error of suggesting that 300 K is equivalent to 68°F in the given options.
