Normal body temperature has commonly accepted as 37.0 °C (although it varies depending on time of day and method of measurement, as well as among individuals). What is this temperature on the Kelvin scale and the Fahrenheit scale?

Solution:

 K = °C + 273.15 = 37.0 + 273.2 = 310.2 K

    °F = (9 ÷ 5) °C + 32.0

             = (9 ÷ 5) × 37 + 32.0

= 66.6 + 32.0

                                                      °F = 98.6 °F
