the formuls to convert kelvin to fahrenheit is:

F = 9/5 * (K - 273.15) + 32

to solve this for kelvin, do the following:

start with F = 9/5 * (K - 273.15) + 32.

subtract 32 from both sides of the equation to get:

F - 32 = 9/5 * (K - 273.15)

multiply both sides of the equation by 5/9 to get:

5/9 * (F - 32) = K - 273.15

add 273.15 to both sides of this equation to get:

5/9 * (F - 32) + 273.15 = K

so, if your temperature is 240 degrees fahrenheit, then:

K = 5/9 * (240 - 32) + 273.15.

solve for K to get K = 388.7055556.

if this is correct, you should be able to solve for fahrenheit and get 240 degrees.

start with F = 9/5 * (K - 273.15) + 32.

replace K with 388.70555556 to get:

F = 9/5 * (388.70555556 - 273.15) + 32.

solve for F to get F = 240.

it works.

your equation to find K from F is good.
