Tyler Hammond · Answer 1

32 C > 32 F > 32 K

Explanation:

32 F, 32 C, 32 K

Let T1 = 32 F

T2 = 32 C

T3 = 32 K

Convert all the temperatures in degree C

The relation between F and C is given by

(F - 32) / 9 = C / 100

so, (32 - 32) / 9 = C / 100

C = 0

So, T1 = 32 F = 0 C

The relation between c and K is given by

C = K - 273 = 32 - 273 = - 241

So, T3 = 32 K = - 241 C

So, T 1 = 0 C, T2 = 32 c, T3 = - 241 C

Thus, T2 > T1 > T3

32C > 32 F > 32 K
