If each classroom can accommodate less than 15 kids, then we can assume that the maximum number of kids in each classroom is 14 (since 15 is not allowed). Therefore, the maximum number of kids in all 12 classrooms would be:

Max number of kids = 14 kids/classroom x 12 classrooms = 168 kids

So the kindergarten section can accommodate a maximum of 168 kids.

We can write this as an inequality as follows:

Let K be the number of kids in the kindergarten section. Then:

K ≤ 168

This inequality says that the number of kids in the kindergarten section (K) is less than or equal to 168. As long as the number of kids is less than or equal to 168, the kindergarten section can accommodate them all.
