convert kelvin to Fahrenheit

To convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit in C++, you can use the following formula:

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

Here's a step-by-step explanation of the conversion process:

  1. Subtract 273.15 from the given temperature in Kelvin: Since the zero point on the Kelvin scale is equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius, we need to subtract this value from the temperature in Kelvin to convert it to Celsius. This step is necessary because the Fahrenheit scale is based on the Celsius scale.

  2. Multiply the result by 9/5: The Fahrenheit scale uses a different scaling factor compared to the Celsius scale. To convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we need to multiply the temperature in Celsius by 9/5.

  3. Add 32 to the result: Finally, we add 32 to the temperature in Fahrenheit because the zero point on the Fahrenheit scale is equivalent to -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

By following these steps and using the formula mentioned above, you can convert a temperature in Kelvin to Fahrenheit in C++.
