Answer 1

#2: Her earnings were no more than $64. Let e represent her earnings. E is less than or equal to 64 (since it says no more than $64).

e ≤ 64.

#4: A checking account was no more than $500. Let a represent the amount in the checking account. A is less than or equal to 500.

a ≤ 500.

#5: Max. ceiling height of 8 ft is required. Let f represent length in feet. Length in feet has to be less than or equal to 8.

f ≤ 8.

n ≥ 12.
