Translating Words into Inequalities

This video tutorial explains how to translate verbal statements into mathematical inequalities and graph them on a number line. It covers the use of symbols like greater than, less than, and their equal counterparts. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples, including identifying keywords, writing inequalities, testing values, and plotting on a number line. Key examples include 'at least three students' and 'fewer than 10 miles.' The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and share.
