To convert 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K), we can use the following formulas:
1. Conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius
The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
°C = (°F – 32) × 5/9
Using this formula, we can plug in the value:
°C = (98.4 – 32) × 5/9
°C = 66.4 × 5/9
°C ≈ 37.0
2. Conversion from Celsius to Kelvin
The formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin is:
K = °C + 273.15
Now, we can convert our Celsius result to Kelvin:
K = 37.0 + 273.15
K ≈ 310.15
Final Results
The temperature of the human body in degrees Celsius is approximately 37.0°C, and in Kelvin, it is approximately 310.15 K.
