How does a mercury thermometer look right? Does it measure out to +0.5 degrees?

The human body thermometer has oral thermometer, anal thermometer, axillary thermometer, but now are generally measured axillary temperature, measurement is convenient and fast, directly read out the degree.

The degree of the thermometer is from 35 degrees, 42 degrees so far, scale a **** divided into 14 large cells, each large cell represents 0.5 degrees and divided into five small cells 0.1 degrees.

Measured degrees whether to +0.5 ℃, this depends on which temperature measure is used, but generally do not have to add. Give me an example so it's easier for you to understand.

If the underarm temperature measurement is 38°C, this is equivalent to an oral temperature of 38.5°C.

①Without adding 0.5 degrees, then 36.5 as the standard: 38-36.5 = 1.5 degrees

②Add 0.5 degrees, to 37 degrees as the standard, 38 + 0.5-37 = 1.5 degrees

Both the answer is the same, both are 1.5 degrees of temperature increase, just reached the degree of high fever.
