Question
$\cdot$ Normal body temperature for humans is $98.6^{\circ} \mathrm{F} .$ What is the corresponding temperature in (a) degrees Celsius and (b) kelvins?
Step 1
Step 1: Convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula: \[C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)\] where \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius and \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit. Show more…
