Final answer:

To convert a temperature of 104.0°F to Celsius, you subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then multiply by 5/9, resulting in a converted temperature of 40.0°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the child’s fever temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the formula:

C = (F - 32) × 5/9

Where C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius and F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

In this case, the child has a fever of 104.0°F. Using the formula:

C = (104.0 - 32) × 5/9

C = (72) × 5/9

C = 360/9

C = 40.0°C

Therefore, the child’s temperature in degrees Celsius is 40.0°C.
