Question 6 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

The temperature measured in Kelvin (K) is the temperature measured in Celsius (C) increased by 273.15. This can be modeled by the equation K = C + 273.15.

Answer
C
C = K – 273.15
C
C = 273.15 – K
C
C = K + 273.15
C
C = 273.15K

Explanation

Start with K = C + 273.15. Subtract 273.15 from both sides to isolate C, giving C = K − 273.15. Therefore, choice A, C = K − 273.15, is correct.
