The answer given to the question is missing something. What detail is missing?

Gerald took a reading off his thermometer that said “78.5 °F”, but Gerald’s teach, Mr. Kotter (ew, ew, ew!) only accepts answers in Kelvin.

→ What is the converted temperature on the thermometer?

Part 1- Convert F to C

Knowns/Unknowns: Tf = 78.5 tc= ???

Formula: tc = .556(Tf - 32)

Plug in: tc = .556(78.5 - 32)

Answer: 25.854

• No formula

• The knowns are missing

• Did not plug in the knowns

1) Carpet Masters, Inc came into my house this summer to clean carpets. They get paid per square meter. They measured my living room to be 7 meters by 6.6 meters.

→ What is the area of the living room carpet, in m2?

A = l x w

A = (7m)(6.6m)

A= 46.2 m2
