Question

Use the Equation Editor to write the following statement as an inequality. Use x as the variable.

The recipe calls for not less than 12 oz. of butter.Answer

Answer 1

For any two real numbers, the first is either greater than (>), less than (<), or equal to (=) the second. Your statement says that it cannot be less, so it could be either one of the remaining two. \[B \ge 12 oz.\]
