Question

Using your knowledge of the difference

between the three different temperature scales,
what do you think would happen if a human's
body temperature were 98.6 °C? Why do
doctors worry more about a fever of a couple
of degrees Celsius than a fever of a couple of
degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

The person would die. Degrees Celsius is much higher than degrees Fahrenheit, therefore if the temperature rises 1 degrees celsius that’s much more of a rise than 1 degree Fahrenheit .
