Answer:

71.6 <= T =<86

Step-by-step explanation:

celsius= 22 a.k.a Fahrenheit= 71.6

celsius= 30 a.k.a Fahrenheit= 86

so the degree ranges from 71.6 or more to 86 or less so

Use T for tempature this is an and problem so you write it like this

71.6 <= T =<86

in english this is saying that T ( tempature ) is more or equal to 71.6 and is less or equal to 86.

Answer: 71.6°< F< 86°

Explanation:

Let C= temperature in tropical rain forest (in Celsius)

Given: In a tropical rain forest, the temperature ranges from 22° C to 30° C.

The compound inequality that represents the possible temperatures of a tropical rain forest.

22° < C < 30°

Since,
\frac95C=F-32\Rightarrow\ F=\frac95C+32

Also, At C= 22 ,
F= \frac95(22)+32=71.6

At C= 30 ,
F= \frac95(30)+32=86

Hence, the compound inequality that represents the possible temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) of a tropical rain forest.

71.6°< F< 86°
