To write an inequality based on the given situation, let's assume the number we are looking for is represented by the variable "x".
The given situation states that "eight times a number is at least 16".
This can be written as:
8x ≥ 16
So, the inequality is 8x ≥ 16.

To write an inequality for the statement "eight times a number is at least 16," we can start by assigning a variable to represent the unknown number. Let's say the number is represented by "x."
Since we are multiplying the number by 8, the inequality becomes:
8x ≥ 16
We use the "≥" symbol to represent "at least" or "greater than or equal to" in the inequality.
