SOLUTION: normal body temperature is 98.6F. Use this formula to find this temperature in celsius: C = 5/9 (F - 32) This is what we did to find the answer: C = 5/9 (98.6 - 32) 9/5

Question 106994: normal body temperature is 98.6F. Use this formula to find this temperature in celsius:
C = 5/9 (F - 32)
This is what we did to find the answer:
C = 5/9 (98.6 - 32)
9/5 * c = 5/9 * 9/5 (98.6 - 32)
9/5C = 98.6 - 32
9/5C = 66.6
Is this correct? Thank you ever so much for your help!
