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
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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 formula
 
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.
