Problem 5 - Determine normal body temperature in °C.

The normal temperature of the human body is 98.6 °F. What is the corresponding temperature in °C?

Recall that

C = (5/9)F - (160/9) approximately equal to 0.56 - 17.78

 

 

A.

 

37.0 °C

B.

 

54.8 °C

C.

 

86.8 °C

D.

 

72.6 °C

E.

 

66.6 °C

This is the last problem on temperature conversion.
