We are finally ready to build and test a prototype! Choose a Category 3 hurricane and then the window protection and roofing materials you think will withstand the storm. Remember to always plan to spend as few “credits” as you can and still keep the home protected. Which combination gave you the best protection for the least cost?(1 point)
Responses
