Question

Write a compound inequality that represents the Fahrenheit temperatures between 50 degrees Celsius and 70 degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

112 ≤ T ≤ 158

Explanation:

We need to convert the celsius temperature to Fahrenheit first.

The formula to use is

F = (C * 9/5) + 32

For 50 degrees Celsius

F = (50 * 9/5) + 32

= 90 + 32 = 112 F

For 70 degrees Celsius

F = (70 * 9/5) + 32

= 158 F

So the compound inequality is written as follows;

112 ≤ T ≤ 158
