Question

The formula K equals C plus two hundred seventy-three shows how to estimate the temperature K measured in degrees Kelvin (°K) when you know the temperature C measured in degrees Celsius (°C). If room temperature is 295°K, what is room temperature in °C?

Answer 1

273.15 Kelvin = 0 °C

So the formula is actually: K equals C plus 273.15
When you want to convert 295 °K to °C, just subtract 273.15
295-273.15 = 21.85 °C

When you use 273 instead of 273.15, the temperature would be 22 °C
