For every situation—cookies, plant height, theater tickets, bridge weight limit, piano practice time, contest age requirement, ticket sales for a school play, game buttons comparison, daily ticket count change, and swim team age eligibility—students identify the correct inequality option (>, ≥, \u003C, ≤) that matches the described “at least,” “fewer,” “more,” or “no more than” conditions. An answer key supplies the selected letter choices.","Writing an Inequality from a Word Problem  \nName:  \n\n| Determine which inequality shows each relationship.\u003Cbr>1) The bakery made fewer cookies today than it made yesterday.
