The formula

K = 5/9 (F - 32) + 273.15 converts a Fahrenheit temperature to a Kelvin temperature. Solve the formula for F. Then find the Fahrenheit temperature for a Kelvin temperature of 310.15 K

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

Solving for F

  • 5/8 (F - 32) + 273.15 = K
  • 5/8 (F - 32) = K - 273.15
  • F - 32 = 8/5 (K - 273.15)
  • F = 8/5 (K - 273.15) + 32

Finding F when K = 310.15 K

  • F = 8/5 (310.15 - 273.15) + 32
  • F = 1.6 (37) + 32
  • F = 59.2 + 32
  • F = 81.2°F
