The complaint is that day[i]*9 doesn't make any sense. This must be because day[i] isn't a numerical type.

If day is also of type Temperature[], then you can't multiply day[i] by anything because it's an object, not a number. You'll need to write a method of Temperature that allows you to read the value stored there:

public class Temperature {

    private double temp;

    // constructors etc.

    public double getTemp() {
        return temp;
    }
}

Now you can use

(day[i].getTemp()*9)/5+32

to get what you want. Note that I've set the type as double, because it looks like you'll want floating point arithmetic here.
