(m)/(7)\geq 16 \ \ \ |\ multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 7 \\\\ 7\cdot (m)/(7)\geq 7\cdot 16\\\\m\geq 112 \\ \\m \ \in<112,+\infty )

I think we have to translate this sentence into mathematical language. The quotient of m is the number that "divides" m, while "is greater than or equal" indicates, we have an inequality here. The proper answer looks like this:

(m)/(7)\geq 16

7\cdot (m)/(7)\geq 7\cdot 16

m \geq 112

m \epsilon <112, +\infty)
