    14 or 15 hours

    Explanation:

    The equation for approximating temperature after death is

    37.5°C - 1.5°C * hours = temperature

    37.5 is the standard body temperature in degrees Celsius.

    60°F = 15.56°C

    Plug this Celsius value into our equation.

    37.5° - 1.5° (hours) = 15.56°C

    Let's solve for hours.

    -1.5*hours = 15.56 - 37.5°C

    -1.5*hours = - 21.94°C

    1.5*hours = 21.94°C

    hours = 21.94°C / 1.5

    hours = 14.62 = = 14 or 15 hours.
