Normal oral temperature of 98.6°F is equivalent to 37.0°C. This conversion is based on the formula

for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius: C=(F−32)×59\text{C} = (\text{F} - 32) \times

\frac{5}{9}C=(F−32)×95 . Maintaining accurate temperature readings is important for diagnosing and

monitoring various medical conditions.
