A bakery makes bread and muffins. Let $b$ = loaves of bread and $m$ = muffins. Each loaf uses 1 cup of flour; each muffin uses 0.5 cups. The bakery has 60 cups of flour. They must bake at least 40 items total. Which inequality represents the total items constraint?

$b \cdot m \geq 40$

$b + m \leq 40$

$b + m \geq 40$

$b - m \geq 40$
