### Temperature Conversion Activity

In the winter, a heated home in the Northeast might be maintained at a temperature of 57°F. What is this temperature on the Celsius and Kelvin scales?

Enter your answers in the appropriate boxes below:

    [ ] °C

    [ ] K

### Explanation:

To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula:

\[C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\]

To convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula:

\[K = C + 273.15\]

First, calculate the temperature in Celsius:
\[C = \frac{5}{9} (57 - 32)\]

Then, use the result to find Kelvin:
\[K = C + 273.15\]

Proceed with your calculations and fill in the boxes with your answers.
