Sure, I'd be happy to help! To write a mathematical sentence to describe each problem situation, we need to use mathematical symbols and vocabulary to represent the given conditions.
For the first situation, "The Length of a ruler is at least 12 inches," we can use the symbol ≥ (greater than or equal to) to represent "at least." Therefore, the mathematical sentence would be: "Length of the ruler ≥ 12 inches."
For the second situation, "Tomas is at most 14 years old," we can use the symbol ≤ (less than or equal to) to represent "at most." Therefore, the mathematical sentence would be: "Tomas' age ≤ 14 years."
These mathematical sentences convey the given information in a concise and precise manner. I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
