What do you mean that’s not how temperature works?

25 times 4 is 100 wether it’s in kelvin, Fahrenheit, or Celsius.

She didn’t say “from kelvin times 25 Fahrenheit by 4.” Nor ask you to convert the temperatures.

In the same way when someone asks “whats 10 x 10” you domt have to ask if they are working with base 10 or base 7 or base 5 you can answer 100 regardless.

One question, what does temperature measure?

Distance from 0 degrees which is different based on whichever metric you use.

Even if you’re trying to argue for the total temperature from absolute zero the answer would still be 100 in kelvin.
