Given:

There are given the formula to convert the Celsius to Fahrenheit.


C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question:

We can see that in the question:

There is given one number that converts into the Fahrenheit

So,

Put 29 degrees for C into the given formula.

So,


\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(F-32) \\ 29=(5)/(9)(F-32) \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} 29=(5)/(9)(F-32) \\ (29)9=5(F-32) \\ 261=5(F-32) \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} 261=5(F-32) \\ 261=5F-160 \\ 5F=261+160 \\ 5F=421 \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} 5F=421 \\ (5F)/(5)=(421)/(5) \\ F=84.2^(\circ) \\ F=84^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is B.
