Question

Normal body temperature is 98 6°F. During an illness it rose 2.5°F. What was the new temperature? The new temperature was °F

Answer 1

The new temperature was;

`\text{ 101.1}\degree F`

Here, we want to get the new temperature

From the question, we are told that the body temperature rose by a certain value

To get the new temperature, we need to add the rise in value to the normal body temperature

Mathematically, we have this as;

`98.6\degree F\text{ + }2.5\degree F\text{ = 101.1}\degree F`
