Help

I need some help. I’m having trouble understanding the temperature measurements in Seipp’s, and Henkel’s Rhac book. It says its Fahrenheit measurements but I don’t know, it look funny, the photo is below it's highlighted in red. If you know what this is let me know.

It was a mistake. I guess you didn't get the insert with the correct information. Those temps are actually Kelvin. The authors didn't recognize the mistake until it was too late, so they added a sheet of corrections. I'll look for mine. This link might help.

Thanks, I was a little frustrated I didn't know what was going on.

lol, sounds like a recipe for baked rhacs.

It does, that’s so funny!

Did they mess up the weights and lengths as well?

If you subtract 273 from those numbers you will have the temps in Centegrade. (degrees Kelvin = degrees C + 273).

For the science oreinted;
The Kelvin temperature scale is valueable in science equations (particularly physical chemistry). Absoulte zero occurs at -273C or 0K.
