A medical assistant is caring for a 4-month-old infant who has a temperature of 100.4 degrees F. Which of the following is this temperature when converted to Celsius?

1) 37.3 degrees C
2) 38.0 degrees C
3) 39.1 degrees C
4) 40.2 degrees C

The student is asking about converting a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can use the formula C = (F - 32) × 5/9, where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius.

In the case of the 4-month old infant with a temperature of 100.4 degrees F, the conversion would look as follows:

C = (100.4 - 32) × 5/9

C = (68.4) × 5/9

C = 342 / 9

C = 38.0 degrees C

Therefore, the correct option is 2) 38.0 degrees C.
