Word problem...Help

Celsius temperature reading can be converted to Fahrenheit readings using the formula F = 9/5 C + 32.
What is the Fahrenheit temperature that corresponds to each of the following Celsius temps:

-10
0
15
100

How do I start on this? My guess is 9/5 x 0 would be 0 and then add 32 so the Celsius for 0 would be 32?
