Which calculation clearly shows a conversion between temperatures in degrees Celsius, t(°C), and temperature in Kelvins, T(K)?
A) T(K) = t(°C)
B) T(K) = [t(°C) - 32] / 1.8
C) T(K) = 273 - t(°C)
D) T(K) = [t(°C) + 32] × 1.8
E) T(K) = t(°C) + 273

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct conversion between temperatures in degrees Celsius and Kelvins is to add 273 to the Celsius temperature. Therefore, option E is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it equates Celsius and Kelvin temperatures, which are not the same. Option B is the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius. Option C is subtracting Celsius temperature from 273 which is not a correct formula. Option D is the formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.
