Answer

Range of Fahrenheit Temperature\[{{59}^{\circ }}\le F\le {{95}^{\circ }}\]

Work Step by Step

The desired temperature range in Fahrenheit can be computed by solving the following double-sided inequality. \[\begin{align} & {{15}^{\circ }}\le \frac{5}{9}\left( F-32 \right)\le {{35}^{\circ }} \\ & {{\left( 15\times 9 \right)}^{\circ }}\le \frac{5}{9}\left( F-32 \right)\times 9\le {{\left( 35\times 9 \right)}^{\circ }} \\ & {{135}^{\circ }}\le 5\left( F-32 \right)\le {{315}^{\circ }} \\ & {{\left( \frac{135}{5} \right)}^{\circ }}\le \left( F-32 \right)\le {{\left( \frac{315}{5} \right)}^{\circ }} \end{align}\] This can be further simplified as follows: \[\begin{align} & {{27}^{\circ }}\le \left( F-32 \right)\le {{63}^{\circ }} \\ & {{\left( 27+32 \right)}^{\circ }}\le \left( F-32+32 \right)\le {{\left( 63+32 \right)}^{\circ }} \\ & {{59}^{\circ }}\le F\le {{95}^{\circ }} \end{align}\]
