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]$1700^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit
b. [tex]$76.0^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit
c. [tex]$150.4^{\circ}$[/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 the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the following formula:

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

where [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Celsius, and [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Let's apply this formula to convert [tex]\( 80^{\circ} \)[/tex] Celsius to Fahrenheit:

1. Start by plugging in [tex]\( 80 \)[/tex] for [tex]\( C \)[/tex] in the formula:

[tex]\[ F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times 80\right) + 32 \][/tex]

2. Calculate [tex]\( \frac{9}{5} \times 80 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 80 = 144 \][/tex]

3. Add [tex]\( 32 \)[/tex] to the result:

[tex]\[ 144 + 32 = 176 \][/tex]

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

Considering the given choices, none of them directly matches [tex]\( 176^{\circ} \)[/tex] because the options provided are incorrect. Nonetheless, based on our correct conversion steps, the temperature is [tex]\( 176^{\circ} \)[/tex] Fahrenheit.
