The Environmental Protection Agency says 0.15 micrograms of mercury per gram of fish is a dangerous amount to eat. Write an inequality to show what level of mercury (m) in micrograms per gram would not be dangerous.(1 point) Responses m≤0.15 m is less than or equal to 0 point 1 5 - no response given m<0.15 m<0.15 - no response given m>0.15 m is greater than 0 point 1 5 - incorrect m≥15

The correct inequality to show the level of mercury (m) in micrograms per gram of fish that would not be dangerous is:
\[ m \leq 0.15 \]
This indicates that the mercury level must be less than or equal to 0.15 micrograms per gram of fish to avoid being considered dangerous.
