Inequality ? ? ?

Why, if I can easily write the exact expression:

        the number of candies that can be produced in 7 hours if the machine has not yet been set up = (7*60 - 24)*30.

        7*60-24 is the time in minutes the machine works.

OK, I can write in the form of inequality

        the number of candies that can be produced in 7 hours if the machine has not yet been set up <= (7*60 - 24)*30,

allowing some delay . . .
