Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit are common temperature scales. Celsius and Fahrenheit are measured in degrees.
Temperature is mesured by Kelvin ( K ) in the S.I.

The SI Unit for temperature is Kelvin, K. This is the absolute temperature scale, that starts at 0K (absolute zero) and goes on up to when elements become plasma (at a ridiculously large figure).
Q = MC(Tf - Ti) Q is the heat added; M is the mass of the water; C is the heat capacity of water (look it up); Tf is the final temperature (this is what you solve for); Ti is the initial temperature of the water. Make sure your units all jive. For example C would have to be in units of kj/kg-deg for you to get the correct answer ,using the units given.
The conversion factor between imperial temperature units (Fahrenheit) and metric temperature units (Celsius) is 5/9.

Kilograms and Kelvin (or degrees Celsius).
Time and temperature are quantities to be measured. The SI units for time and temperature are the second and the kelvin, respectively.
It is Celsius
The metric unit for temperature is degrees Celsius.
The SI units for length are meters (m), for mass are kilograms (kg), and for temperature are kelvin (K).
