Explanation:

Step1: Define total required crayons

Total minimum crayons = $24 \times 8$

Step2: Set up inequality

Let $c$ = number of crayons to buy. Since $c$ must be at least the total minimum:
$c \geq 24 \times 8$

Step3: Calculate total minimum

$24 \times 8 = 192$

Step4: Finalize inequality and solution

$c \geq 192$

Answer:

Inequality: $c \geq 192$
Solution: Mr. Frank should purchase at least 192 pastel crayons.
