Question

The formula K= 5/9 (F - 32) + 273.15 converts temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit F to Kelvin K.

Solve the formula for F

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Undo the various operations done to F.

`K=(5)/(9)(F-32)+273.15\quad\text{given}\\\\K-273.15=(5)/(9)(F-32)\quad\text{subtract 273.15}\\\\(9)/(5)(K-273.15)=F-32\quad\text{multiply by 9/5}\\\\\boxed{F=(9)/(5)(K-273.15)+32}\quad\text{add 32}`
