Hi, there--
.
Here is how to set this up as an in equality:
.
Let be the lower Celsius temperature and be the higher Celsius temperature. Then we can write the double inequality,
.
.
Now we solve this for F. We are given and , so

.
Multiply each part of the inequality by 9/5 since 9/5*5/9=1.


.
Add 32 to each part of the inequality to isolate F.

.
The Fahrenheit temperature ranges from 59 to 95 degrees, inclusive.
.
I hope this helps. Feel free to email any questions about the solution.
