Answer:

105.62°F

Explanation:

When the body temperature having fever is measured to be 40.9 on a scale then it must be a Celsius scale thermometer because 37°C is the normal temperature of a healthy human. In case of fever the given temperature is measured on a standard Celsius scale.

The relation between Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is:

[tex]\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}[/tex]

[tex]F=\frac{9C}{5} +32[/tex]

[tex]F=105.62^{o}F[/tex]

It is a high fever and an immediate medical help must be taken.
