jim_thompson5910 · Answer

"at least" means "the smallest you can go (including that number)"

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

example

it costs at least $10 to get into the party. So the smallest amount you have to pay is $10, but you could pay more

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

"at most" is the opposite and it means the most or highest value allowed

example: the temperature will be at most 99 degrees today. So the max temp is 99 degrees

"at least" you use $\Large \ge$

"at most" you use $\Large \le$

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

x is at least 30 translates to $$\Large x \ge 30$$

y is at most 20 translates to $$\Large y \le 20$$

hero · Answer

I'd rather write it this way:


$30 \ge x$

Means that 30 is the most I can have compared to x

$20 \le x$ 

Means 20 is the least I should have compared to x
