A nurse has to record her temperature in Celsius but her thermometer reads Fahrenheit. A patient's temperature is 100.7°F. What is the temperature in °C?(C x 9/5) +32= F

Explanation

The conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius is done using the formula: C = (F - 32) × 5/9. For a temperature of 100.7°F, subtract 32 to get 68.7. Next, multiply 68.7 by 5/9, resulting in approximately 38.167°C. Hence, the correct answer is approximately 38.2°C, indicating a fever.Option A (32°C) is incorrect as it reflects an unrelated temperature value. Option B (36.5°C) represents a normal body temperature, not accounting for the fever. Option D (213.3°C) is an unrealistic body temperature, likely stemming from a calculation error.
