The symbol "≤" means "less than or equal to", so the correct way to say the inequality " y ≤ 18”is: A. y is less than or equal to 18.

The other options are incorrect:

Option B, y is less than 18: This would be written as y < 18. It means y can be any value that is strictly less than 18, excluding 18 itself. This is not equivalent to y ≤ 18, which includes 18.
