Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a temperature difference from Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees, we use the following conversion formula: 
ΔF = 1.8*ΔC  
where ΔF is the temperature difference in Fahrenheit degrees and ΔC is the temperature difference in Celsius degrees.

Using this formula, we can find the temperature difference in Fahrenheit degrees:
ΔF = 1.8*9.0 = 16.2

However, since Fahrenheit temperature differences are usually rounded to whole numbers, the closest value is C) 16 Fahrenheit degrees.
