Question

arrange the following temperature in increasing order from coldest to hottest. Justify your answer. 98F, 50 C, 172K

show steps

Answer 1

Answer:

172K,98F,50C

Explanation:

First convert them all to same scale in this ill convert to kelvin

50C = 323.15K     (to convert celsuis to kelvin add 273.15 to it)

98F =  309.81666... (Kelvin (K) = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 + 273.15)

Lowest temperature(coldest) = lowest number

172K,98F,50C

Answer 2

Answer:

-101.1°C < 18.33°C < 50°C

Explanation:

98°F , 50°C , 172K.

Converting all the temperature values into °C.

=> 98°F :

>> (98 - 32) × 5/18

>> 66 × 5/18

>> 18.33°C

=> 172K :

>> 172K − 273.15

>> -101.1°C

Hence, we have 18.33°C , 50°C , -101.1°C.

∴ Increasing order from coldest to hottest :

=> -101.1°C < 18.33°C < 50°C
