Final answer:

The outdoor temperature of 17.0 degrees Celsius is equal to 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit using the conversion formula (Celsius × 9/5) + 32, so the correct answer is (d) 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

The temperature in Fahrenheit, when the outdoor temperature is 17.0 degrees Celsius, can be calculated using the formula: Fahrenheit = (Celsius × 9/5) + 32.

Applying the temperature conversion formula:

Fahrenheit = (17.0 × 9/5) + 32

Fahrenheit = (17.0 × 1.8) + 32

Fahrenheit = 30.6 + 32

Fahrenheit = 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
