Question

What's your normal body temperature? it may not be 98.6°f, the oft-quoted average that was determined in the nineteenth century. a more recent study has reported an average temperature of 98.2°f. what is the difference between these averages, expressed in celsius degrees?

Answer 1

(98.6 - 98.2)ºF = .4ºF

.4ºF* 5ºC/9ºF = 0.222 ºC

Answer 2

(98.6 - 98.2)ºF = .4ºF

.4ºF* 5ºC/9ºF = 0.222 ºC OR

98.6*5ºC/9ºF = 54.80 98.25ºC/9ºF = 54.60 54.80 - 54.60 = .2ºC

Answer 3

(98.6 - 98.2)ºF = .4ºF

.4ºF* 5ºC/9ºF = 0.222 ºC
