A temperature of 69.5 degrees Fahrenheit converts to approximately what temperature in degrees Rankine?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 529.5 degrees R. To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Rankine, the formula is: Rankine = Fahrenheit + 459.67. Plugging in the given temperature of 69.5 degrees Fahrenheit, we get: 69.5 + 459.67 = 529.17 degrees Rankine, which rounds to 529.5 degrees R. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not properly apply the Fahrenheit to Rankine conversion formula.
