Question

Your temperature is 99 degrees during first period. By 7th period,your temperature is 102 degrees. How many degrees did your temperature change? Should you be at school.?

Answer 1

Given :

Temperature at first period ,
`T_1=99^oF` .

Temperature at seventh period ,
`T_7=102^oF` .

To Find :

The change in temperature .

Solution :

We know , change in temperature is given by the difference between final and initial temperature .

`\Delta T=T_7-T_1\\\\\Delta=(102-99)^oF\\\\\Delta=3^oF`

So ,the change in temperature is
`3^oF` .

Now , the average body temperature of human body is
`98.6^oF` and
`100.4^oF` is considered a fever .

Therefore , we should not be in school and take rest .

Hence , this is the required solution .
