Answer :

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

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

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

Let's calculate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit when it is 80 degrees Celsius:

1. Start with the given temperature in Celsius: [tex]\( C = 80 \)[/tex]
2. Multiply 80 by [tex]\(\frac{9}{5}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
80 \times \frac{9}{5} = 144
\][/tex]
3. Add 32 to the result from step 2:
[tex]\[
144 + 32 = 176
\][/tex]

Therefore, 80 degrees Celsius is equal to 176 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hence, the best answer from the choices provided is:

a. 176° Fahrenheit
