Question
The body temperature of a healthy person is 98.4°F. Find the corresponding temperature on the Celsius scale.
Short Note
Solution
The body temperature of a healthy person is 98.4oF.
We know C/100 = (F - 32)/180.
C =5/9(F- 32)
C = 5/9(98.4 - 32)
C = 5/9 X66.4
C =36.88oC
The temperature of the body of a healthy man is 36.88oC.
