Start by taking the number in Fahrenheit and subtracting 32. Then divide the number by 9, and then multiply it by 5. This is how you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or use the equation C = (F - 32) × 5/9
In this case, the answer is about 38.167 degrees Celsius.

What is an example of thermal expansion that you have observed in your daily life?
an example would be a thermometer. A thermometer because it has mercury in it. When you check a patients temperature with a thermometer ,the heat from the patients body will cause the expansion of the mercury and the mercury flows in the tube. It stops at a point and that point indicates the temperature in the patients body.

When was the first thermometer invented?
In 1612 the inventor Santorio Santorio became the first to put a scale on his thermometer. It was perhaps the first crude clinical thermometer as it was designed to be placed in a patients mouth for temperature taking
Is there an infrared thermometer that is approved for medical use?
This is thermometer offers a quick way to check skin / surface temperature. It is the first of its kind that is FDA approved for medical use.Example of use:Excellent for diabetic patients -- who have lost the feeling in their feet -- take temperatures on the bottom of both feet each morning and compare these temperatures from spot to spot.If a spot on one foot demonstrates a change in temperature, compared to the same spot on the other foot, and sustains that change in temperature or higher (rises to four degrees Fahrenheit (2ºC) or more for two days or more) we know that a problem may be occurring. The patient is alerted to call their physician.FeaturesInstant non-contact surface temperature measurementUseful with moving products or for hard to reach placesCompletely waterproof (IP67 compliant)Two measuring modes: normal and continuousAlarm settings for high and low temperature limitsMemory function holds up to 99 points of temperature data
Why is lab thermometer can't be used as clinical and vice - varsa?
A clinical thermometer typically shows a maximum reading while a lab thermometer typically shows the temperature right now. When you take a thermometer out of a patients mouth (or other place that you are measuring the temperature) you most often want the maximum temperature to keep showing until you reset the instrument. When using a lab oratory thermometer you want the instrument to react as quickly as possible so that changes (up and down) can be noticed and recorded.
What is the best thermometer to use on people?
An aural (in ear) thermometer is a good modern device, and measures the temperature in the outer ear. It is more expensive than a mercury clinical thermometer, but is simpler to prepare between patients, and completely avoids the problems of broken glass thermometers, and spilt mercury. Mercury clinical thermometers are however quite cheap.
What is considered the least invasive and most accurate method of taking a patient's temperature?
An axillary reading which is a thermometer placed in the armpit. The one that you stick in the ear, 2 seconds later, the temperature is read. It can be done without the patients knowledge if done correctly.
Why would a 0C to 100C thermometer be useless to a doctor examining a patient?
It would not be accurate enough. The clinical thermometer works over a limited range and gives accurate more readings. It would be useful. The temperature of patients rarely drop below freezing and they rarely boil. It would be useless to measure the temperature of food though because food is often cooked above 100C.
