Matrix dimensions must agree error

This is my code.

Temp_Coke = input('What is the current temperature of the Coke (deg F)? ', 's');

Temp_Fridge = input("What is the temperature of your friend's fridge (deg F)? ", 's');

Ideal_Coke_Temp = input('What is the ideal Coke drinking temperature (deg F)? ', 's');

k = 0.058;

t = log((Ideal_Coke_Temp-Temp_Fridge)/(Temp_Coke-Temp_Fridge))*(-1./k);

fprintf('It should take %d minutes to cool the Coke to %d degrees F from %d degrees F if my fridge has a temperature of %d degrees F.',t,Ideal_Coke_Temp,Temp_Coke,Temp_Fridge);

It's a simple code to find t(Time) from newtons law of cooling. However, when I run the code, the t = equation comes up as matrix dimensions must agree error and i dont know how to fix it.

Wrap each input with str2double, e.g.:

Temp_Coke = str2double(input('What is the current temperature of the Coke (deg F)? ', 's'));

how do i get it to not give me an e number, like 43 minutes instead of 4.31124e1
