Answer:

0 < h ≤ 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of each box is given by the base area multiplied by the height.

If total volume must not exceed 240 cubic inches, then:

[tex]240\geq 30h\\h\leq 8[/tex]

Since no minimum volume was set, the height can range from any value greater than zero to exactly 8 inches:

0 < h ≤ 8 inches
