Question

the body temperature of a normal and healthy person in 98.4 degree fahrenheit what is the temperature Celsius scale and show how you have done

Answer 1

the temperature of a normal healthy person will be 36.88 degree celsius by-

c/5= f-32/9

where c is the temperature in the centigrade scale and f is the temperature in the fahrenheit scale.

Normal body temperature is 98.4 degree fahrenheit .

so,

c/5 =98.4-32/9=7.37

Therefore, body temperature in fahrenheit is c= 5*7.37=36.88

Answer 2

Answer:36.9 degree Celsius

Explanation:degree fahrenheit =9/5 *degree Celsius +32°

Given °F=98.4°F

,let the temperature on Celsius scale be x.

Then 98.4°F=9/5(x°c)+32°

98.4-32=9/5(x)

66.4 =9/5x

66.4*5=9x

( 66.4*5) / 9 =x

=36.9°c
