Question

During spring migration, a dragonfly traveled a minimum of $1,510$ miles and a maximum of $4,130$ miles between stopover loions. Which inequality represents this situation, where $d$ is a possible distance, in miles, this dragonfly traveled between stopover loions during spring migration?

A.

$d less than or equals 1,510$

B.

$1,510 \leq d \leq 4,130$

C.

$d greater than or equals 4,130$

D.

$4,130 \leq d \leq 5,640$

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. It's given that during spring migration, a dragonfly traveled a minimum of 1,510 miles and a maximum of 4,130 miles between stopover loions. It's also given that d represents a possible distance, in miles, this dragonfly traveled between stopover loions. It follows that the inequality 1,510 &#8804; d &#8804; 4,130 represents this situation. Choice A is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a maximum of 1,510 miles between stopover loions. Choice C is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a minimum of 4,130 miles between stopover loions. Choice D is incorrect. This inequality represents a situation in which a dragonfly traveled a minimum of 4,310 miles and a maximum of 5,640 miles between stopover loions.
