Question

The normal body temperature of a camel is 97.7 in the morning if it has had no water by noon its body temperature can be greater than 104

a. write an inequality that represents a camel's body temperature at noon if the camel had no water.
b. If C represents degrees celsius then F= 9/5C + 32.Write and solve an inequality to find the camel's body temperature at noon in degrees celsius.

Answer 1

A camel's body temperature at noon can be greater than 104°F represented by T > 104. To convert this into Celsius C = (F - 32) × 5/9 results in C > 40°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent a camel's body temperature at noon if it has had no water using an inequality, we take into account that its body temperature in the morning is 97.7°F and by noon it can be greater than 104°F. The inequality that represents this would be T > 104, where T is the camel's body temperature at noon.

When converting the body temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula F = (9/5)C + 32, we first rearrange the formula to solve for C: C = (F - 32) × 5/9. To find the camel's temperature in degrees Celsius at noon, we know it must be greater than 104°F. The inequality in terms of Celsius will be:

1. First, subtract 32 from 104: 104 - 32 = 72.
2. Next, multiply the result by 5/9: (72) × 5/9 ≈ 40.
3. So the inequality in Celsius is: C > 40°C.

This means that if a camel has had no water by noon, its body temperature can be greater than 40°C.
