Physics word problem help please!?

The melting point of gold is 1064°C. Express this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and kelvins.

Physics word problem help please!?
To convert from Centigrade to Fahrenheit, use the formula





F = (9/5)*C + 32





So, to convert 1064 C,





F = (9/5)*1064 + 32





= 1947.2 F





To convert Centigrade to Kelvin, the formula is





K = 273 + C





so 1064 C in the Kelvin scale is





K = 273 + 1064 = 1337





HTH.
