Answer:
weight in an elevator must be less than 2000 lbs goes with w < 2000
a ton is 2000 lbs goes with w = 2000
the pool must hold at least 2000 gallons goes with w ≥ 2000
the scale can hold up to and including 2000 lbs goes with w ≤ 2000
my car weighs more than 2000 lbs goes with w > 2000
Explanation:
If the weight is less than 2000 lbs, then the inequality will have a lesser than sign. The choice that matches is w < 2000.
If a ton is exactly 2000 lbs, then it's equal to 2000. In other words, the inequality will have an equal sign. The choice that matches is w = 2000.
If a pool should be held with at least 2000 lbs, then it's weight is either greater than or equal to 2000 lbs. the choice that matches is w ≥ 2000.
If a scaled can hold up to, including 2000lbs, then the maximum weight it can hold is 2000 lbs. The weight is less than or equal to 2000. the choice that matches is w ≤ 2000.
If a car weighs more than 2000 pounds, then the weight will be greater than 2000. The choice that matches is w > 2000.
hope this helps!
