Practice makes perfect
Most inequalities have three parts: a left-hand side, a right-hand side, and the type of inequality in the center. To translate from an algebraic to a verbal inequality, we should start by identifying the type of inequality. In this case, we have ≤, which is read as is less than or equal to.
... is less than or equal to...
On the left-hand side of the inequality, we are given the integer 8. This can be translated as Eight.
Eight is less than or equal to...
On the right-hand side of the inequality, we are given the term h.
8 ≤ h
Eight is less than or equal to h
Note that when translating from algebraic to verbal expressions, there are usually multiple correct ways to write or phrase the verbal expression.
