Answer:

Explanation:

Relation between Celsius and Kelvin is

K = C + 273

Relation between Kelvin and Fahrenheit is

[tex]\frac{K-273}{100}=\frac{F -32}{180}[/tex]

(a) 379 K

Relation between Celsius and Kelvin is

K = C + 273

So, C = K - 273 = 379 - 273 = 106

Thus, 379 K = 106°C.

(b) 379 K

Relation between Kelvin and Fahrenheit is

[tex]\frac{K-273}{100}=\frac{F -32}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{379-273}{100}=\frac{F -32}{180}[/tex]

F = 222.8°F

Thus, 379 K = 222.8°F

(c) 1.04 x 10^2 K = 104 K

Relation between Celsius and Kelvin is

K = C + 273

So, C = K - 273 = 104 - 273 = -169

Thus, 104 K = - 169°C.

(d) 1.04 x 10^2 K = 104 K

Relation between Kelvin and Fahrenheit is

[tex]\frac{K-273}{100}=\frac{F -32}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{104-273}{100}=\frac{F -32}{180}[/tex]

F =- 272.2°F

Thus, 104 K = - 272.2°F
