Answer:
253 Kelvins
Explanation:
We want to convert -5°F to Kelvins.
First, we must convert -5°F to Celsius. The formula is:
°C= (°F - 32) * 5/9
Plug -5 in for °F.
°C= (-5-32) * 5/9
Solve inside the parentheses first. Subtract 32 from -5.
°C= (-37) * 5/9
Multiply -37 and 5/9.
°C= -20.5555556
-5° F is equal to -20.5555556° C.
Next, convert Celsius to Kelvins. The formula is:
K= °C + 273.15
Plug -20.5555556 in for °C.
K= -20.5555556 + 273.15
Add -20.5555556 and 273.15.
K= 252.594444
Round to the nearest whole number. The 5 in the tenth place tells us to round 252 to 253.
K ≈ 253
-5°F is equal to about 253 Kelvins.
