To match the inequalities to the correct word sentences, we need to understand the meaning of each inequality symbol:
- The symbol ">=" means "greater than or equal to".
- The symbol "<=" means "less than or equal to".
- The symbol ">" means "greater than".
- The symbol "<" means "less than".
Now let's match the inequalities to the correct word sentences based on their meanings:
1. A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelors Degree. (">=")
2. A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies. ("<=")
3. There were fewer than 120 students at the dance. ("<")
4. A person's height must be above 48 inches to ride the roller coaster. (">")
Based on the explanations above, we can match the inequalities to the correct word sentences in the table below:
| Inequality Symbol | Word Sentence |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| ">=" | A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelor's Degree. |
