Question

Corey owns a 50 acre vineyard and every year, depending upon conditions, worries about flooding. Corey wants rainfall amounts to be at most 12 inches per year. Which model is correct?

A: X Greater than or equal to 12?
B: X less than or equal to 12?
C: X less than 12?

Answer 1

B: X less than or equal to 12

x≤12

Explanation:

Corey owns a 50acre vineyard

Corey wants rainfall amounts to be at most 12 inches per year

Let rainfall=x

Corey wants amount of rainfall (x) to be at most 12 inches per year

x is at most 12 inches per year

In inequality, the appropriate symbol representing “at most” is the “less than or equal to”

(≤) symbol

So, substituting the symbol

We have,

x≤12

B: X less than or equal to 12
