Question

The temperature reading 500°R is equivalent to : a) 40.0°C b) 260.15°C c) 227.50 °C d) 4.44 °C e) -40.0°C

Answer 1

Answer:

d)4.44°C

Explanation:

There are different types of temperature scales: Celsius (C) and Kelvin (K) is the unit of measure for the international measurement system for relative and absolute temperature respectively, while Farenheit (F) and Rankine (R) is the unit of measure for the English measurement system for relative and absolute temperature respectively.

The following equation is used to change from  Rankine to celsius

$C=\frac{5(R-491.67)}{9}$

C=temperature in celsius

R=temperature in rankine

$C=\frac{5(500-491.67)}{9} =4.6 C$
