Question 276522: A metal stays at Fahrenheit temperature below 1801.5 degrees. Determine ( in terms of an inequality) those Celsius temperatures for which the metal stays solid. Use the formula F=9/5C+32. The solution set is {C|C<___}. (Round to the nearest tenth.)
Here is what I have so far: (9/5)C+32=1801.5 (9/5)C=1801.5-32 5/9(9/5)C=1769.5 C=983.05 Is this correct? {C|C<983.05} Is this correct?

A metal stays at Fahrenheit temperature below 1801.5 degrees.
Determine ( in terms of an inequality) those Celsius temperatures for which the metal stays solid.
Use the formula F=9/5C+32. The solution set is {C|C<___}. (Round to the nearest tenth.)
==========================

(9/5)C+32 < 1801.5
(9/5)C < 1801.5-32
(5/9)(9/5)C < (5/9)1769.5
C < 983.06
====================
