Riddle: There is a temperature that has the same numerical value on both the Fahrenheit and Kelvin temperature scales. What is this value? also show how you found this value Answer to Riddle: Two equations will be needed to solve the riddle. The first equation is the equation to convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit. The second equation is a Fahrenheit temperature that equals a Kelvin temperature. To solve, substitute F for K in the first equation and solve for F. The value found will be the same on both temperature scales. That value is 574.25 Equation 1: F = 1.8*(K - 273) + 32 Equation 2: F = K F = 1.8*(F - 273) + 32 F = 1.8*F - 1.8(273) + 32 F = 1.8*F - 491.4 + 32 F = 1.8*F - 459.4 -0.8*F = -459.4 F = 574.25 |
