College Board · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D. Choice D is correct. It's given that for a snowstorm in a certain town, the minimum rate of snowfall recorded was 0.6 inches per hour, the maximum rate of snowfall recorded was 1.8 inches per hour, and s represents a rate of snowfall, in inches per hour, recorded for this snowstorm. It follows that the inequality 0.6 ≤ s ≤ 1.8 is true for all values of s .
