There's no direct conversion from Fahrenheit to Kelvin and vice versa.
If given in Fahrenheit, convert 1st in Celsius then to Kelvin:
C=%28F-32%29%285%2F9%29
K=C%2B273.15
If given in Kelvin, do reverse ----> convert to Celsius 1st then to Fahrenheit.
.
To show: %2886%5Eo%29F-----> K?
C=%2886-32%29%285%2F9%29=54%285%2F9%29=30
highlight%28K=273.15%2B30=303.15%29
180K ---------------> F
180K-273.15=C
-93.15%5Eo=C
Next, F=-93.15%289%2F5%29%2B32=-167.67%2B32
highlight%28F=-135.67%5Eo%29, Answer
Thank you,
