Question

One can convert temperature from Kelvin into Fahrenheit using the formula . What is the temperature in Kelvin corresponding to F degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

the formula: F = 9/5 (K - 273) +32, which gives you Fahrenheit in terms of Kelvin

however, the question is asking for a formula for Kelvin in terms of Fahrenheit. therefore, you must solve the equation for K.

to start with, take the original equation, subtract 32 from both sides. that gives you 9/5 (K - 273) on the right side.

from there, divide both sides by (9/5), which will leave you with (K - 273)
then from there, add 273 to both sides, thus isolating K in terms of F
