AI Thread Summary
Fahrenheit and Kelvin can be numerically equal at a specific temperature, which requires conversion formulas to determine. The relationship between Fahrenheit (F), Celsius (C), and Kelvin (K) is essential for solving this problem. The conversion involves algebraic manipulation of the equations that relate these temperature scales. A participant mentioned arriving at 164 degrees Fahrenheit but found it incorrect, prompting a request for clarification on the algebra used. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the need for understanding the conversion relationships to find the correct temperature where Fahrenheit and Kelvin are equal.

15. [SFHS99 10.P.13.] At what Fahrenheit temperature are the Kelvin and Fahrenheit temperatures numerically equal?

is that possible because kevlin will always be aroudn 200 greater anyway .. how do you do this

Do you know the relation between Fahrenheit and Kelvin? That is, do you know how to convert one into the other?
 
there is a temp when they are equal. I had it on a test sometime ago, and thought i was getting the wrong answer. use algebra.
 
what is the equation
? i don't have a f - k forumla
 
Surely you know the relationship between F and C, what is the relationship between K and C?
 
i got 164 but it wasnt right i have my homework online and it tells me if i wrong right away
 
How did you get 164? Show us the algebra.
 
what equations did you use?

edit:
i lose.
