In a type of cancer treatment called thermotherapy, temperatures as high as 113 °F are used to destroy cancer cells or make them more sensitive to radiation. What is that temperature in degrees Celsius? In kelvins?
STEP 1 State the given and needed quantities.
| ANALYZE THE PROBLEM | Given | Need | Connect |
| 113 °F | Tin degrees Celsius, kelvins | temperature equations |
STEP 2 Write a temperature equation.
\boxed{T_{C} = \frac{T_{F} – 32}{1.8}} \boxed{T_{K} = T_{C} +273 }STEP 3 Substitute in the known values and calculate the new temperature.
\boxed{T_{C} = \frac{(113 – 32)}{1.8}} 32 is exact: 1.8 is exact
= \overset{Two SFs}{\underset{Exact}{\frac{81}{1.8} }} =\underset{Two SFs}{45 °C}Using the equation that converts degrees Celsius to kelvins, we substinlte in degrees Celsius.
T_{K} = \underset{\underset{place }{Ones}}{ 45} +\underset{\underset{place }{Ones}}{ 273} = \underset{\underset{place }{Ones}}{ 318 K}Related Answered Questions
