Chapter 1, Problem 1.88QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The highest temperature measured in the United States is given on the Fahrenheit scale. The corresponding temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scale is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The formula for the conversion of $°\text{F}$ into $°\text{C}$ is,

$°\text{C}=\left(\left(°\text{F}\right)-32\right)\times \frac{5}{9}$

The formula for the conversion of $°\text{C}$ into $\text{K}$ is,

$\text{K}=\left(°\text{C}\right)+273$

To determine: The highest temperature measured in the United States on the Celsius and Kelvin scale.
