Quinn · Answer 1

Of the three temperatures listed, the highest temperature should be 100°C. To validate this, we can convert the values in terms of Celsius.

100 °F = 37.78 °C

100 K = - 173.15 °C

100 °C

Comparing the three values, we see that 100°C has the highest temperature while the lowest is 100 K. The temperature 100 K is the coldest one.
