Write the statement as an absolute value inequality.
-The number of non-text books read by college students ranges from 8 to 46 . Using $B$ as the variable, write an absolute value inequality that corresponds to this range.
A) $\mid$ B $- 27 \mid \leq 19$
B) $| \mathrm { B } - 8 | \leq 38$
C) $| B - 19 | \leq 27$
D) $| \mathrm { B } - 38 | \leq 8$

The midpoint of the range from 8 to 46 is $\frac{8 + 46}{2} = 27$, and the distance from this midpoint to either endpoint is $46 - 27 = 19$, so the correct absolute value inequality is $|B - 27| \leq 19$.
