Your body temperature is 98.6°F. Express this as °C and as °K

Answer 1

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.
