Answer

$80^{\circ}~C$

Work Step by Step

$C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ We can use this formula to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. It is given in the question that $F = 176$ since the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is $176^{\circ}~F$. $C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ $C = \frac{5}{9}(176-32)$ $C = \frac{5}{9}(144)$ $C = 80$ The temperature on the Celsius scale is $80^{\circ}~C$
