Example Question #941 : Grade 6

Select the equation or inequality that matches the number sentence below.

\(\displaystyle 157\) is greater than or equal to \(\displaystyle w\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 157\leq w\)

\(\displaystyle 157> w\)

\(\displaystyle 157< w\)

\(\displaystyle 157\geq w\)

\(\displaystyle 157= w\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 157\geq w\)

Explanation:

Our number sentence has the phrase "greater than or equal to" which means we have an inequality. 

"\(\displaystyle 157\) is greater than or equal to \(\displaystyle w\)" can be written as \(\displaystyle 157\geq w\) because we replace the words "greater than or equal to" with the greater than or equal to symbol.
