Decide whether the statement makes sense. Explain your reasoning.To convert from Kelvin to Celsius, you subtract 273.15. For example, -100 K = -373.15 °C.

What will be an ideal response?


Does not make sense. The general formula is correct, but the numbers don't make sense. A temperature of 0 K is the coldest possible temperature, known as absolute zero. A temperature of -100 K is theoretically impossible. (Explanations will vary.)
