Question

Normal body temperature. the average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 k . what would celsius and fahrenheit thermometers read for this temperature?

Answer 1

The question is simply asking us to convert one unit, in this case temperature, to another unit. To do this, we need conversion factors to multiply, divide or relate to the original measurement. We do as follows:

Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15
310 - 273.15 = 36.85 degrees celsius

Fahrenheit =  (°C × 9/5) + 32
 (36.85 × 9/5) + 32 = 98.33 degrees fahrenheit

Hope this helps.
