To change a temperature on the Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale, you have to _________the given temperature.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Subtract 273 from.
· To convert a temperature from the Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale, you subtract 273.15 (or approximately 273) from the given Kelvin temperature. The formula is:
Temperature in Celsius=Temperature in Kelvin−273.15
Information Booster:
· Kelvin Scale: The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale starting from absolute zero, which is the theoretical lowest temperature possible.
· Celsius Scale: The Celsius scale is commonly used for everyday temperature measurements, with 0°C defined as the freezing point of water and 100°C as the boiling point under standard atmospheric conditions.
· Conversion Example: If the temperature is 300 K, then the equivalent in Celsius would be:
300 K−273.15=26.85°C
