38.5 degrees Celsius is a high body temperature and is considered to be a fever. It is important to monitor and manage it, as it could indicate an underlying illness or infection. Drinking fluids, getting rest, and taking medication as advised by a healthcare professional can help reduce the fever.

The question doesn't tell us what scale the 38.5 degrees comes from.

If it's 38.5 Kelvin, then it converts to (minus 234.65) degrees Celsius.

It it's 38.5 degrees Rankine, then it converts to (minus 251.76) degrees Celsius.

If It's 38.5 degrees Fahrenheit, then it converts to 3.61 degrees Celsius.

========================================

Wait, wait ! If we read the question extra-carefully, it looks like the 38.5 is Celsius ... the question wants it converted to something else, but it doesn't say to what.

OK. 38.5 degrees Celsius converts to:

-234.65 Kelvin

-358.37 Rankine

101.3 Fahrenheit

Seeing this, I just now realized that this may be a body-temperature measurement of a sick person. If so, I apologize for playing around and taking so much time to give you the Fahrenheit equivalent. Yes, the patient's temperature is elevated, and a doctor should be consulted.

Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32
In this case, the answer is about 101.12 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's easy to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit by yourself. Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32, where Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. 36 C is 97 F.

38.5 degree celsius can be converted to both kelvin and Fahrenheit. If converted to kelvin it is 311.5 K. If converted to Fahrenheit it is 101.3 degree Fahrenheit.
