Question

choose the statement that represents the inequality $y \geq 50$. there are fewer than 50 books in the library there are more than 50 books in the library. there are at least 50 books in the library. there are exactly 50 books in the library.

Explanation:

The inequality \( y \geq 50 \) means \( y \) is greater than or equal to 50. "At least 50" means the quantity is 50 or more, which matches \( y \geq 50 \). "Fewer than 50" would be \( y < 50 \), "more than 50" would be \( y > 50 \), and "exactly 50" would be \( y = 50 \), so they don't match the given inequality.

Answer:

C. There are at least 50 books in the library.
