The label on the car's antifreeze container claims to protect the car between −40°C and 125°C. To convert Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature, the formula is C = (F − 32). Write and solve the inequality to determine the Fahrenheit temperature range at which this antifreeze protects the car.

Respuesta :

The condition 'temperature between -40°C and 125°C' can be written as inequality -40°C ∠ x°C < 125°C

Formula of changing degree Celcius to degree to degree Fahrenheit is given
°C = 5/9 (°F - 32)
Rearranging to make °F the subject

°F = [tex] \frac{9}{5}C+32 [/tex]

Substitute °C = -40
°F = [tex] \frac{9}{5}(-40)+32 = -40 [/tex]

Substitute °C = 125
°F = [tex] \frac{9}{5}(125)+32 = 257 [/tex]

Substitute °F = -40 and °F = 257 into the inequality 

-40°C < x°C < 125°C
-40°F < F < 257°F

Correct answer: B
