You can write the inequality for the wind speeds of tropical storms as follows:

40 mph ≤ Wind Speed < 74 mph

Let me break it down for you:

"40 mph" on the left side of the inequality indicates that the wind speed must be greater than or equal to 40 miles per hour (mph).

The less than sign "<" indicates that the wind speed must be less than 74 mph.

So, when you combine both parts of the inequality, it states that the wind speeds of tropical storms must be at least 40 mph but less than 74 mph. Any wind speed within this range is considered typical for a tropical storm.
