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]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

C
D

Answer :

To convert a temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees 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 and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

Let's calculate the temperature when it is [tex]\( 80^\circ \)[/tex] Celsius:

1. Start with the Celsius temperature: [tex]\( C = 80 \)[/tex].
2. Plug the value into the conversion formula:
[tex]\[ F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times 80\right) + 32 \][/tex]
3. First, multiply [tex]\( 80 \)[/tex] by [tex]\( \frac{9}{5} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 80 = 144 \][/tex]
4. Next, add [tex]\( 32 \)[/tex] to the result:
[tex]\[ 144 + 32 = 176 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( 80^\circ \)[/tex] Celsius is equal to [tex]\( 176^\circ \)[/tex] Fahrenheit.

The correct answer is a. [tex]\( 176^\circ \)[/tex] Fahrenheit.
