Question

48. Climate A town's high temperature for a given

month is 88°F and the low temperature is 65°F.

Write a compound inequality to represent the range

of temperatures for the given month.

Answer 1

Answer: 65 ≤ x ≤ 88

Explanation:

Let x denotes the temperature of the town for a given month.

Given : Climate A town's high temperature for a given month is 88°F and the low temperature is 65°F.

i.e. 65°F ≤ temperature in a given month ≤ 88°F

Replace temperature in a given month by x.

Thus the compound inequality to represent the range of temperatures for the given month :-

i.e. 65 ≤ x ≤ 88
