<PRE><B>Question 1069810</B>
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.
