Tk = temperature on Kelvin scale

TF = temperature on Fahrenheit scale

so

TK = TF + 460 (459.7 to be more accurate)

300K = TF + 460

TF = 300 - 460 = -160 degr. F (minus 160 F)

The given answer is INCORRECT -- the Kelvin scales uses the same "degree size" as Celsius, which is *different* from Fahrenheit.

So,

0 degrees Kelvin = -272.15 degrees Celsius

300 degrees Kelvin = -272.15 + 300 = +26.85 degrees *Celsius*

You can then convert Celsius to Fahrenheit by multiplying by 9/5 and adding 32, that is:

26.85 C = (26.85 * 9/5) + 32 = 80.33 degrees F.

Alternatively, you can start with the fact that 0 degrees K (absolute zero) is approx -459.67 degrees F. Convert the 300 degree increase from K(C) to F degrees by multiplying by 9/5, so the increase is 300 * 9/5 = 540 degree increase. Add that to the base, -459.67 + 540, yields 80.33 degrees F. (the answers match!)
