Temperature conversion

The normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature in degrees Celcius?

Correct result:

t =  37 °C

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} t_1=98.6^{\circ }\text{F } \\ t=(t_1-32)\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{5}{9}}=(98.6-32)\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{5}{9}}=37^{\circ }\text{C} \end{gathered}$$
