To solve the inequality \( \frac{1}{3}n + 4.6 \leq 39.1 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the term involving \( n \): \[ \frac{1}{3}n + 4.6 \leq 39.1 \]

    Subtract \( 4.6 \) from both sides: \[ \frac{1}{3}n \leq 39.1 - 4.6 \] \[ \frac{1}{3}n \leq 34.5 \]

  2. Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by 3 (note that this does not change the direction of the inequality because we are multiplying by a positive number): \[ n \leq 34.5 \times 3 \] \[ n \leq 103.5 \]

The solution to the inequality is: \[ n \leq 103.5 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

  • n ≤ 103.5
  • n less than or equal to 103.5
