Temperature conversion

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

Result

t =  37 °C

Solution:

t1=98.6 ∘F t=(t1−32)⋅ 59=(98.6−32)⋅ 59=37=37∘Ct_{1}=98.6 \ ^\circ \text{F} \ \\ t=(t_{1}-32) \cdot \ \dfrac{ 5 }{ 9 }=(98.6-32) \cdot \ \dfrac{ 5 }{ 9 }=37=37 ^\circ \text{C}
