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!)
Use this equation to convert degrees Fahrenheit to Kelvin: [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5⁄9
-40.27. To convert kelvin to Fahrenheit, multiply the Kelvin temp. by 9/5, then subtract 459.67.
you need to convert it to kelvin first then Fahrenheit
Yes. 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees are equal to 1 Kelvin degree.
Use this equation to convert degrees Fahrenheit to Kelvin: [K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 0.556
