Explanation / Answer

C    :      F       :     K 5    :   9 (±32)  : 5 (±273) 1. -53oF= (-53 - 32) x 5/9 =             = -85 x 5/9          = -47.222oC      in Kelvin =>   -47.222 + 273= 225.778 K 2. 66oF= (66 - 32) x 5/9 =             =   34   x 5/9      = 18.89 oC 3. 18oC= (18 x 9/5) + 32 =             =      32.4 + 32    = 64.4oF
