Answer 1

Answer:

only c option is correct one rest of them are wrong. yes I m very much sure.98.6° is normal temperature of body in fareheint 37 °in Celsius

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is that both have a normal body temperature. Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

• Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Celsius are the scales used to measure temperature.
• The normal body temperature is $37$ °$C$ on the celsius scale.

The formula for conversion from Fahrenheit scale to Celsius scale is:

$\textdegree C =\frac{ \textdegree F-32}{1.8}$

In the given question, Paheli has the temperature of $98.6$ $\textdegree F$. So, Paheli's temperature on the Celsius scale is:

$\textdegree C =\frac{98.6 \textdegree F-32}{1.8}$

     $= 37$ $\textdegree C$

This $37$ $\textdegree C$ temperature is the same as the temperature recorded by Boojho. The $37$ $\textdegree C$ or $98.6$ $\textdegree F$ is the normal body temperature.

So, both have a normal body temperature.

Option (c) is correct.
