A person with a normal body temperature of 36 ° C dies in an accident while traveling by car. The body temperature of this person was 30 °C when his body was found and the body temperature was 28 °C 1 hour after it was found. Also, if the temperature of the ENVERİONMENT was 20 °C when the body was found, how long before this person was found? Please express it mathematically and solve it by equation.

On the Fahrenheit scale: O°F 32°F freezing point of water (equivalent to 0°C) 212°F boiling point of water (equivalent to 100°C) Fahrenheit scale (32°F....212°F) but is 100 degrees in the Celsius scale (0°C..T00 C). As with using the metric system, it is important in the sciences to learn to use and report temperature readings using the Celsius scale since it is more universally used than the Fanrenniore scale. The formulas used to convert between these two temperature scales are listed below. When converting from°F to°C °C= ('F - 32) 1.8 °C=5/9('F - 32) -OR- When converting from°C to°F °F = (°C x 1.8) + 32 °F = (°C x 9/5) + 32 -OR- Use the above equations (either the decimal or fraction form) to complete the following conversions.
