Question

A mountain climber finds that water boils at ${80}^{\circ }$C. The temperature of this boiling water is ____ $F$.

• A. ${50}^{\circ }$
• B. ${150}^{\circ }$
• C. ${176}^{\circ }$
• D. ${200}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is C ${176}^{\circ }$

For converting any celsius scale into fahrenheit we use the following relation,
$\frac{F-32}{9}=\frac{C}{5}$

$\frac{F-32}{9}=\frac{80}{5}$

$F=\frac{720+160}{5}={176}^{o}F$
