The highest January temperature in the United States was 98 degrees F in Laredo, Texas. The lowest January temperature in the United States was -80 degrees F in Prospect Creek, Alaska. Write an inequality that represents the various temperatures in the United Statues during January.

I take it that you know that "<" represents less than, right?

When looking at these temperatures, we do know that all temperatures in January were between -+80%5Eo F and 98.6%5Eo F, inclusive.

Using J%5Bt%5D to represent United States' temperatures in January, we can say that: highlight_green%28-+80%5Eo+%3C=+J%5BT%5D%3C=98%5Eo%29 F (fahrenheit)
