Kareem and Christine each ran every day as part of an exercise routine. Kareem ran 5 miles each day for x days. Christine ran 6 miles each day for y days.

The total number of miles that Kareem ran is at least the total number of miles that Christine ran. Write an equality describing this relationship.

5x \geq 6y
The inequality above shows the relationship.

In this case, Kareem miles on the left have to be at least as much as Christine's on the right.

It would read: 5x is greater than or equal to 6y.
