Mystique say: Just what it says....AT LEAST....

In a room of 10 people, and "at least 5 people" have a cold...that means...5 people DEFINITELY have a cold...all of them *might*, but it's known - for a fact - that 5 do.

In a room with 100 people, if "at least 1/4 of them" are male, you know 25 of them are definitely male...there may be 26 males...there may be 76 males...but 25 of them - FOR SURE - are male.

? say: n ≥ 5
at least 5
5,6,7,8,9,10....
so 10 is allowed.

Marielyz say: At least means that is can't be less than that specific number. For example, 5. So you would write it, x < 5
