To convert 60 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to kelvins (K), you first need to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius (°C), and then convert Celsius to Kelvin.
The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
°C = (°F – 32) × 5/9
For 60°F, the conversion to Celsius will be:
°C = (60 – 32) × 5/9
°C = 28 × 5/9
°C ≈ 15.56
Now, to convert Celsius to Kelvin, you use the following formula:
K = °C + 273.15
Applying this to our Celsius value:
K = 15.56 + 273.15
K ≈ 288.71
Therefore, 60°F is approximately equal to 288.71 Kelvin.
