The correct answer is: $98.6^\circ\text{F}$
Explanation
We use the Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion formula: Fahrenheit equals Celsius times 9/5 plus 32. Plugging in $37^\circ\text{C}$ gives the familiar normal body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Steps:
- Formula: $$F = C \times \frac{9}{5} + 32$$
- Substitute $C=37$: $$F = 37 \times \frac{9}{5} + 32$$
- Calculate: $$F = 37 \times 1.8 + 32 = 66.6 + 32 = 98.6^\circ\text{F}$$
Therefore, $37^\circ\text{C}$ equals $98.6^\circ\text{F}$.
