Algebra practice question

The speed limit on a road is 50 kilometres per hour. Which inequality represents the speeds s, in kilometres per hour, that are within the limit?

  1. A. s ≤ 50Correct
  2. B. s ≥ 50
  3. C. s < 50
  4. D. s > 50

Answer: A. s ≤ 50

Driving at exactly 50 is within the limit.

B. s ≥ 50
This describes speeding.
C. s < 50
This excludes 50 itself.
D. s > 50
This describes speeding and excludes 50.
