GPT-4o mini
To convert the body temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K), you can use the following formulas:

1. **Convert °F to °C:**
\[
°C = \frac{°F - 32}{1.8}
\]
Substituting 98.6°F into the formula:
\[
°C = \frac{98.6 - 32}{1.8} \approx 37°C
\]

2. **Convert °C to K:**
\[
K = °C + 273.15
\]
Using the Celsius value we calculated:
\[
K = 37 + 273.15 \approx 310.15 K
\]

Thus, 98.6°F is approximately 37°C and 310.15 K.
