Explanation:

Translate the inequality symbol

The inequality is \(6 \ge 16\). The symbol \(\ge\) represents "greater than or equal to". Therefore, the statement in words is "six is greater than or equal to sixteen".

Evaluate the truth value

We compare the numbers: \(6\) is not greater than \(16\), nor is it equal to \(16\). Thus, the statement \(6 \ge 16\) is false.
