15. [SFHS99 10.P.13.] At what Fahrenheit temperature are the Kelvin and Fahrenheit temperatures numerically equal?

is that possible because kevlin will always be aroudn 200 greater anyway .. how do you do this

Do you know the relation between Fahrenheit and Kelvin? That is, do you know how to convert one into the other?
 
  • #3
there is a temp when they are equal. I had it on a test sometime ago, and thought i was getting the wrong answer. use algebra.
 
  • #4
what is the equation
? i don't have a f - k forumla
 
  • #5
Surely you know the relationship between F and C, what is the relationship between K and C?

i got 164 but it wasnt right i have my homework online and it tells me if i wrong right away
 
  • #7
How did you get 164? Show us the algebra.
 
  • #8
what equations did you use?

edit:
i lose.

What is the numerical value of Fahrenheit and Kelvin being equal?

The numerical value of Fahrenheit and Kelvin being equal is -459.67.

How is the conversion from Fahrenheit to Kelvin determined?

The conversion from Fahrenheit to Kelvin is determined by adding 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature and then multiplying by 5/9.

Why are Fahrenheit and Kelvin equal at -459.67?

Fahrenheit and Kelvin are equal at -459.67 because -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit is the absolute zero temperature, which is also the 0 value on the Kelvin scale.
