Answer 1

Here are the correct matches for the words to the inequalities:

1. **a is at least 10.** - a ≥ 10
2. **a is greater than 10.** - a > 10
3. **a ≤ 10** - a is less than or equal to 10.
4. **a is greater than or equal to 10.** - a ≥ 10
5. **a is less than or equal to 10.** - a ≤ 10
6. **a ≥ 10** - a is at least 10.
7. **a > 10** - a is more than 10.
8. **a is at most 10.** - a ≤ 10

Note that "a is at least 10" and "a is greater than or equal to 10" both correspond to a ≥ 10, while "a is at most 10" corresponds to a ≤ 10. The phrases "a is less than or equal to 10" and "a is at most 10" are interchangeable.

Here’s a correct simplified pairing:

- **a is at least 10.** - a ≥ 10
- **a is greater than 10.** - a > 10
- **a is greater than or equal to 10.** - a ≥ 10
- **a is less than or equal to 10.** - a ≤ 10
- **a is at most 10.** - a ≤ 10
- **a is more than 10.** - a > 10

All of these phrases can be paired with their corresponding inequalities directly.
