Question

bills normal temperature is 98.6 today ballistic and has a temperature of 104.3 how many degrees above his normal temperature is this

Answer 1

Today's temperature is 5.7 degrees above Bill's normal temperature.

Explanation:

Given

Represent the normal temperature with N and today's temperature with T.

Such that:

`N = 98.6`

`T = 104.3`

Required

Determine the temperature above the normal temperature

The interpretation of this is to calculate the difference between Bill's normal temperature and Bill's today temperature.

Represent the difference with D

D is calculated as follows:

`D = T - N`

Substitute values for T and N

`D = 104.3 - 98.6`

`D = 5.7`

Hence, today's temperature is 5.7 degrees above Bill's normal temperature.
