For a snowstorm in a certain town, the minimum rate of snowfall recorded was 0.6 inches per hour, and the maximum rate of snowfall recorded was 1.8 inches per hour. Which inequality is true for all values of s, where s represents a rate of snowfall, in inches per hour, recorded for this snowstorm? ≥ 2.4
Correct answer: D (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
Choice D is correct. It’s given that for a snowstorm in a certain town, the minimum 0.6 rate of snowfall recorded was inches per hour, the maximum rate of snowfall 1.8 recorded was inches per hour, and s represents a rate of snowfall, in inches 0.6# #1.8 per hour, recorded for this snowstorm. It follows that the inequality s is true for all values of s. Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
