A. for Fahrenheit and Celsius temperate it is -40 C and -40 F
lets see
y--measure in Fahrenheit
x--is measure in Celsius
formula:-
y=1.8x+32
to derive the measure where-----y=x
substitute it in the equation
therefore substituting---y=x
x=1.8x+32
1x-1.8x=32
-0.8x=32
0.8x= -32
8x= -320
therefore x= -320/8
x= -40
since x=y
y= -40
hence,
-40 degree Celsius is equal to -40 degree Fahrenheit
2.for Fahrenheit and kelvin it is 574.7 K and 574.7 F
To convert Celsius into Kelvin we can use the formula:
K = C + 273.2 . . . .
To convert Fahrenheit into Kelvin we use the formula:
F = (9/5)C + 32 . . .
At certain temperature, if the "K" & "F" readings are the same,
K° = F°
C + 273.2 = (9/5)C + 32
273.2 - 32 = (9/5)C - C
241.2 = .8C
C = 241.2 / .8 = 301.5
Substitute this value in equations (1) & (2)
K = 301.5 + 273.2 = 574.7°
F = (9/5) 603 + 273.2 = 574.7°
the thermometers will read the same when kept at the same substance.
