Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.

A thermometer shows a fever of $39.4\ ^\circ\text{C}$ . What is this temperature in kelvin and in degrees Fahrenheit?

Need a reminder? The key ideaShow

$T\ (\text{K}) = t_C + 273.15$ and $t_F = 1.8\, t_C + 32$ , where $t_C$ is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

The worked solution

Have you tried it?

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
