Answer:

This sign ≤ means greater than or equal to

but, this sign < means the number which is in the side is only greater

That why the sign ≤ is used

My this answer might be wrong , because in b ≤ 45 , I am confused from where the letter " b " came from .

because it can still hold 45, if you did the other it meant it couldn’t hold 45
