A person with hyperthermia has a temperature of 107 °F. What does this read on a Celsius thermometer?
Express the temperature in degrees Celsius as an integer.
The conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
Plugging 107 °F into the formula:
°C = (107 - 32) * 5/9
°C = 75 * 5/9
°C = 375/9
°C ≈ 41.67
Therefore, a temperature of 107 °F is approximately 41 °C.
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
Let's apply this formula to the given temperature of 107 °F:
°C = (107 - 32) * 5/9
= 75 * 5/9
= 375/9
≈ 41.7 °C
Rounded to the nearest whole number, a temperature of 107 °F would read as 42 °C on a Celsius thermometer.
