Question

in the context of speed limits,
ot exceeding\ is best represented by which symbol?
a. ≥
b. >
c. ≤
d. <

Explanation:

To determine the symbol for "not exceeding" in speed limits, we analyze each option:

• Option a ($\geq$) means "greater than or equal to", which represents "at least" or "not less than", not "not exceeding".
• Option b ($>$) means "greater than", which represents exceeding, so it's incorrect.
• Option c ($\leq$) means "less than or equal to", which accurately represents "not exceeding" (the speed can be equal to the limit or less).
• Option d ($<$) means "less than", which would mean the speed must be strictly less than the limit, but "not exceeding" allows equality (e.g., a speed limit of 50 mph means you can drive 50 mph or slower), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

c. $\leq$
