Question

Most bees have a body temperature of 35 Celsius. When they sleep, it can drop by up to 2 Celsius. What's their range in body temperature written as an inequality

Answer 1

The range of the body temperature is $2\leq x\leq 35$

Explanation:

Let x denote the body temperature of the bees.

The maximum body temperature of the bee is 35° Celsius.

When they sleep, the body temperature can drop by up to 2° Celsius.

Thus, the minimum body temperature of the bee is 2° Celsius.

Thus, the range of the body temperature is from 35° Celsius to 2° Celsius.

The range of body temperature is given by:

$2\leq x\leq 35$

Thus, the range in body temperature of the bees is $2\leq x\leq 35$
