Let's suppose "x" represents the number of boys in the gym.
The inequality to represent the number of boys would be:
x ≥ 30 - 16
Simplifying the expression:
x ≥ 14
Therefore, the inequality that represents the number of boys in the gym is x ≥ 14.

To write an inequality to represent the number of boys in the gym, let's denote the number of boys as "b". Since we know that there are 30 students in total and at least 16 of them are girls, we can set up the inequality as follows:
b ≥ 30 - 16
Now, let's simplify this inequality by subtracting 16 from 30:
b ≥ 14
Therefore, the inequality to represent the number of boys in the gym is b ≥ 14.
