how do u get the answer?
A nurse has to record her temperatures in Celsius but her thermometer reads Fahrenheit. A patient's temperature is 100.7° F. What is the temperature in °C
C = 5/9(F-32)
so
C = 5/9(100.7-32)
= 38.2º
(This is a strange question.
No nurse in a modern medical situation would not have a thermometer that measures in Celsius)
Never underestimate the power of governmental regulation, nor the logic of it.
Well, Mr. Inquisitive, lucky for you, I have the answer! To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9
So, let's do the math!
(100.7 - 32) x 5/9 = 38.1666...
But hey, we don't want to get too fancy with decimals! So, let's round it to two decimal places. The temperature in Celsius is approximately 38.17°C.
Now, isn't it fascinating how temperatures can change, but my jokes always stay funny? It's truly a mystery!
To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), you can use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) × (5/9)
Now, let's plug in the values in the formula to find the temperature in Celsius:
°C = (100.7°F - 32) × (5/9)
= (68.7) × (5/9)
Calculating further:
°C = 38.16
So, the temperature in Celsius is approximately 38.16°C
To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
Let's use this formula to calculate the temperature in °C:
Step 1: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature
100.7°F - 32 = 68.7
Step 2: Multiply the result by 5/9
68.7 * 5/9 ≈ 20.39
Therefore, the patient's temperature in °C is approximately 20.39°C.
