There is a fourth temperature scale, although it is not used much today. The Rankin temperature scale varies from the Fahrenheit scale by about 460 degrees. So given a temperature in Fahrenheit, add 460 degrees to get the temperature in Rankin. Which formula represents a formula to find degrees Rankin when given degrees Celsius?

a. \(R=\frac{5}{9} C-492\)

b. \(R=\frac{9}{5} C+492\)

c. \(R=C+492\)

d. \(R=\frac{5}{9}(C-492)\)
