- QUESTION 20 A laboratory experiment was done at 160.0°F. Convert this temperature to Kusing the following equations and round appropriately. Give your answer with one digit after decimal. °C = (°F-32) x 5/9 K =°C + 273.15 Note that the conversions between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperatures are exact. This means the fractions (5/9 or 9/5) and the numbers 32 and 273.15 are exact. So, use the addition/subtraction rule to determine the correct final answer.
