$t\leq 4\ teachers$

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is

Which inequality describes the number of teachers, t, Noor could give the stickers to?

Let

t-------> the number of teachers

we know that

Noor gave 1/3 of a sheet to each of the 45 students at recess

the total number of sheets given to students equals to

$45*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{45}{3}=15\ sheets$

The remain sheets is equal to

$21-15=6\ sheets$

To find the maximum number of teachers divide the remain sheets by $1\frac{1}{2}$ sheets

remember that

$1\frac{1}{2}=1.5$

$6/1.5=4\ teachers$

therefore

the inequality is equal to

$t\leq 4\ teachers$
