Question

A person is running a temperature of 103°F What is the temperature on the Celsius scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

39.44 °C

Explanation:

To convert from °F to °C, we need to use the following equation:

$C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$

Then, replacing F by 103 °F, we get:

$\begin{gathered} C=\frac{5}{9}(103-32) \\ C=\frac{5}{9}(71) \\ C=39.4444 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the temperature on the Celsius scale is 39.44 °C
