Exercise 9 Page 38

Convert one temperature so both are in the same unit.

No

Practice makes perfect

To begin, we should notice that the given temperatures are in different units. We need to convert one of the temperatures so that both are in the same unit. It does not matter which unit we choose to convert, so let's convert our friend's temperature of 37^(∘)C to Fahrenheit.

F=9/5C+32
F=9/5* 37+32
F=333/5+32
F=66.6+32
F=98.6

Our friend has a temperature of 98.6^(∘)F. Because 98.6^(∘)F is less than 100^(∘)F, we can conclude that our friend does not have a fever.
