Hi

 

How do you put the following inequality in words?

 

0.1 ≤ x ≤ 1.0

 

Specifically, does the following sentence properly describe the above inequality?

"X is equal to, or greater than 0.1 and equal to, or less than 1.0."

 

Regards,

With a bit of re-punctuating, yes:


X is equal to or greater than 0.1 and equal to or less than 1.0


If you wish to adhere to the symbol order:


X is greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 1.0


I have also heard:


0.1 less than or equal to X less than or equal to 1.0


but this last is not a sentence.
