It's a hot day at the beach! You look at your portable thermometer, which says it's 30. C. What is the temperature in Fahrenheit and Kelvin? Show your work.

The question above is simply a conversion problem. We are asked to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit and to Kelvin. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we do as follows:

°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32

°F = (30 * 9/5) + 32

°F = 86

From Celsius to Kelvin,

K = °C + 273.15

K = 30 + 273.15 = 303.15
