Solution

Fahrenheit and Kelvin:

  1. Fahrenheit and Kelvin are both units of measurement for temperature.
  2. Fahrenheit is often used for surface temperatures.
  3. Kelvin is often used for scientific equations and calculations.

Conversion of Fahrenheit to Kelvin:

Formula: K = (y°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

Here, K = Kelvin

y °F = temperature in fahrenheit.

here, y °F = 98.6°F

K = (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

K = 310.15 K

Final answer: average human body temperature in Kelvins is 310.15 K.
