Answer

A) It reads 41.1 ° Celsius. B) No, because 103°F is equivalent to 39.4444 °C, which is lower then the one needed to call a doctor.

Work Step by Step

To answer this question you need to know the formula for converting from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit: (°C x 9/5 )+ 32 = °F A) (°C x $\frac{9}{5}$) + 32 = 106°F °C/=$\frac{5(106- 32)}{9}$ °C= 41.1 B) (°C x $\frac{9}{5}$) + 32 = 103°F °C=$\frac{5(103- 32)}{9}$ °C= 39.4444
