Explanation
To find the temperature on the Kelvin scale, you use the formula: Kelvin equals Celsius plus 273.15.
The average normal temperature of the human body is approximately 37 degrees Celsius.
By adding 37 to 273.15, you get 310.15. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives 310. Therefore, 310 K is the normal human body temperature on the Kelvin scale.
