To match the inequalities to the correct word sentence, we need to determine the inequality symbol that represents the given relationship. Let's analyze each sentence:
1. A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelors Degree.
The phrase "at least" suggests that the number of credits should be equal to or greater than 120. The inequality symbol that represents this relationship is ">=" (greater than or equal to).
2. A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies.
The phrase "at most" indicates that the number of cookies should be less than or equal to 48. The inequality symbol that represents this relationship is "<=" (less than or equal to).
3. There were fewer than 120 students at the dance.
The phrase "fewer than" implies that the number of students should be less than 120. The inequality symbol that represents this relationship is "<" (less than).
4. A person's height must be above 48 inches to ride the roller coaster.
The phrase "above" suggests that the height should be greater than 48 inches. The inequality symbol that represents this relationship is ">" (greater than).
Now, let's match the inequalities to the corresponding word sentences in the table below:
- A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelors Degree. -> ">="
- A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies. -> "<="
- There were fewer than 120 students at the dance. -> "<"
- A person's height must be above 48 inches to ride the roller coaster. -> ">"
Please insert the corresponding inequality symbols into the "Response area" for each word sentence.
