Write an Inequality Word Problem

We've solved several word problems that require us to set up inequalities and solve them, but now it's your turn.

Working in partners, write a word problem that will require the reader to set up an inequality and solve. You must use complete sentences, and the word problem needs to be school appropriate.

Be creative!!! Good luck!!!

    There was a man name Mr. Jobe. He was a scientist. He was making Abracadabra liquid for a man named He Kyung Young. One day he was putting in 6brown eyes in the formula. He looked at his formula and noticed that he had to make sure that the amount of brown eyes should go over or equal 9 green mushrooms. He hurriedly poured in 4 brown eyes and then accidentally poured unknown amount of blond hairs. He didn't know the amount but he was sure that he put more amount of hair than the green mushrooms. Write the amount of each materials in inequality.
