d.

l + w + d less-than-or-equal-to 61

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]l + w + d \leq 61[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sum of l, w and d be at most 61

Required

Write as inequality

First, we need to determine the sum of l, w and d

[tex]Sum = l + w + d[/tex]

Next, we determine the type of inequality.

At most 61 means less than or equal to 61

So, the expression becomes:

[tex]Sum \leq 61[/tex]

Substitute value for Sum

[tex]l + w + d \leq 61[/tex]

Answer:

D
