What is the Fahrenheit temperature of a person with a 39.0潞C fever

Short Answer

Expert verified

A person with a temperature of \({\rm{39}}{\rm{.0^\circ C}}\) has the equal temperature as \(102.2^\circ {\rm{F}}\) on the Fahrenheit scale.

Step by step solution

01

Difference between Fahrenheit and Celcius

You need to find the Celcius corresponding Fahrenheit temperature. So the relation between the two-scale is,

C=59(F-32)C脳95=(F-32)

02

Calculation

When T= \({\rm{39}}{\rm{.0^\circ C}}\) , Substituting this into the above equation, we get,

39.0掳C脳95=(F-32)70.2掳C=F-32F=102.2掳F

Therefore, a person with a temperature \({\rm{3}}{{\rm{9}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{C}}\) has the same temperature as a person with a temperature \({\rm{10}}{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{o}}}{\rm{F}}\) on the Fahrenheit scale. Thermometers are used to measure temperature on well-defined measurement scales. Different temperature scales can be developed by finding easily 2 reproducible temperatures, such as freezing and boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure.
