1. The following formula relates the quantities temperature in Celsius (C) and temperature in kelvins (K).
C = K − 273.15
(a) Write two other related equations.
(b) If the temperature is 23 in degrees Celsius, what is the temperature in kelvins? Show your work.
(c) Which is greater, 300 kelvins or 25 degrees Celsius? Show your work.
Answer: Two related equations are: C + 273.15 = K, and K – C = 273.15. If the temperature in Celsius is 23º,
and 23 + 273.15 = 296.15, the temperature in kelvins is 296.15º. 25 + 273.15 = 298.15, so 300º K is greater
than 25º C.

2. Hera spent $16 on dinner. Then she spent $6 on dessert and some more on a taxi ride. Including the taxi
fare, she spent a total of $31. How much money did Hera spend on the taxi ride?
(a) What is the unknown information?
(b) Let x represent the unknown information. Write an addition equation that models the problem.
(c) Solve the equation.
(d) Answer the question.
Answer: The unknown information is the amount of money spent on a taxi ride. An equation to represent the
problem is 16 + 6 + x = 31. A related equation is 31 – (16 + 6) = x, and the answer to this equation is 9, so Hera
spent $9 on a taxi ride.
