Question

analyze relationships write >, <, ≥, or ≤ in the blank to express the given relationship. 16. m is at least 25 m ____ 25 17. k is no greater than 9 k __ 9 18. p is less than 48 p __ 48 19. b is no more than -5 b __ -5 20. h is at most 56 h __ 56 21. w is no less than 0 w ____ 0

Explanation:

Step1: Interpret "at least"

"At least" means greater than or equal to, so $m \geq 25$.

Step2: Interpret "no greater than"

"No greater than" means less than or equal to, so $k \leq 9$.

Step3: Interpret "less than"

"Less than" uses the < symbol, so $p < 48$.

Step4: Interpret "no more than"

"No more than" means less than or equal to, so $b \leq -5$.

Step5: Interpret "at most"

"At most" means less than or equal to, so $h \leq 56$.

Step6: Interpret "no less than"

"No less than" means greater than or equal to, so $w \geq 0$.

Answer:

1. $m \geq 25$
2. $k \leq 9$
3. $p < 48$
4. $b \leq -5$
5. $h \leq 56$
6. $w \geq 0$
