A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies. -
There were fewer than 120 students at the dance. -
A person's height must be above 48 inches to ride the roller coaster. -
The inequalities can be matched to the word sentences as follows:
- A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelors Degree. (≥ 120)
- A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies. (≤ 48)
- There were fewer than 120 students at the dance. (< 120)

To match the inequalities to the correct word sentence, we can analyze the information given for each sentence and compare it with the symbols used in inequalities.
Let's go through each sentence:
1. "A student needs at least 120 credits to earn a Bachelors Degree."
In this sentence, the phrase "at least" indicates that the number of credits required should be equal to or greater than 120. Thus, we can use the symbol "≥" for this inequality.
2. "A package of Oreos contains at most 48 cookies."
The phrase "at most" indicates that the number of cookies in the package should be equal to or less than 48. Therefore, the symbol "≤" can be used in this inequality.
3. "There were fewer than 120 students at the dance."
The phrase "fewer than" suggests that the number of students should be less than 120. We can represent this inequality using the symbol "<".
4. "A person's height must be above 48 inches to ride the roller coaster."
The phrase "above" indicates that the person's height should be greater than 48 inches. Hence, the inequality symbol ">" can be used.
Now, you can match each inequality symbol (≥, ≤, <, >) to the corresponding word sentence.
