What will the temperature be in degrees Fahrenheit when it is [tex]$80^{\circ}$[/tex] Celsius outside?

Recall the formula [tex]F = \left(\frac{9}{5} C\right) + 32[/tex].

a. [tex]$176^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit
b. [tex]$150.4^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit
c. [tex]$76.0^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit
d. [tex]$201.6^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit

Please select the best answer from the choices provided:
A
B
C
D

Answer :

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula:

[tex]\[ F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times C\right) + 32 \][/tex]

Where:
- [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
- [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Given that the temperature in Celsius is [tex]\( 80^\circ \)[/tex]:

1. First, you multiply the Celsius temperature by [tex]\( \frac{9}{5} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 80 = 144 \][/tex]

2. Then, you add 32 to the result:
[tex]\[ 144 + 32 = 176 \][/tex]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit when it is [tex]\( 80^\circ \)[/tex] Celsius outside is [tex]\( 176^\circ \)[/tex] Fahrenheit.

So, the correct answer is:
a. [tex]\( 176^\circ \)[/tex] Fahrenheit
