1. if a park closes at sunset, which is no later than 8 pm, how should this be written as an inequality for closing time $t$?

a. $t>8$ pm
b. $t\geq8$ pm
c. $t<8$ pm
d. $t\leq8$ pm

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret "no later than"

The phrase "no later than 8 PM" means the closing time $t$ can be 8 PM or earlier.

Step2: Match to inequality

This relationship translates to $t$ being less than or equal to 8 PM, so $t \leq 8$ PM.

Answer:

d. $t \leq 8$ PM
