Temperature Conversion Problem
« on: January 25, 2020, 08:50:06 AM »
Hi everyone!

I was going through my textbook problems, and typically have no problem with temperature conversions. However, this one with scientific notation really tripped me up. Could someone send a solution?

Here it is:
Convert the Fahrenheit temperature to the Celsius scale: 7 * 107 °F


Thanks!

°C = 5/9*(°F-32)

107 means ten millions. 7*107 °F is a bit warmer than a typical a star core, cooler than a tokamak. Megakelvins or eV would be the usual units for them.
