Question

convert 253 k to degrees fahrenheit. round your answer to the correct number of significant figures. \boxed{}°f

Explanation:

Step1: Convert K to °C

$253 - 273.15 = -20.15^\circ\text{C}$

Step2: Convert °C to °F

$\frac{9}{5} \times (-20.15) + 32 = -4.27^\circ\text{F}$

Step3: Round to 3 sig figs

$-4.27^\circ\text{F} \approx -4.3^\circ\text{F}$

Answer:

$-4.3^\circ\text{F}$
