The formula for converting Fahrenheit temperatures to...

The formula for converting Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius temperatures is $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32) .$ Use this formula for Exercises 85 and 86. During a recent year, the temperatures in Chicago ranged from $-29^{\circ}$ to $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Use a compound inequality to convert these temperatures to Fahrenheit temperatures.

Key Concepts

Temperature Conversion

This concept involves transforming values from one unit of measurement to another using a mathematical formula. In the context of temperature, the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales are related by a linear conversion formula. Understanding how to correctly substitute and manipulate the formula ensures accurate conversion of temperature values between these two units.

Compound Inequalities

A compound inequality is used to describe a range of values that satisfy multiple conditions simultaneously. In this context, it is applied to express the range of temperature values as an inequality. Mastering compound inequalities is essential for translating real-world intervals into mathematical expressions that can be manipulated and solved.

Algebraic Manipulation of Inequalities

This key concept involves applying algebraic rules to inequalities, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing all parts of the inequality by the same number, while preserving the inequality relationship. It is crucial for converting temperature ranges from one scale to another by carefully isolating the variable of interest in the compound inequality.
