To convert a temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the following formula:

```

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

```

So, to convert 76.5 °C to °F, we plug the value into the formula:

```

°F = (76.5 °C × 9/5) + 32

```

```

°F = (137.7 °F) + 32

```

```

°F = 169.7 °F

```

Therefore, 76.5 °C is equal to 169.7 °F.
