You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation or inequality by the same number. Don't multiply or divide by zero. In the case of an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must be reversed. E.g., if you multiply both sides by -2, a "less-than" sign should be replaced by a "greater-than" sign.
The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign
Multiply by 1/fraction. For example to divide 10 by 2/3, calculate 10 x 3/2
To convert any decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100.
Similar to an equation. The main difference is the following: when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you have to switch the sign. Example: -3x < 12 Now divide by (-3): x > -4 Note that, since I divided by a negative number, I had to change the "less than" to a "greater than". This rule becomes somewhat complicated when you need to multiply or divide by the variable - you have to consider different cases.

You haven't asked for the results of our calculation, so the most correct answer is "Acknowledged and will comply".
When you multiply or divide the whole equation by a negative number.
You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation or inequality by the same number. Don't multiply or divide by zero. In the case of an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign of the inequality must be reversed. E.g., if you multiply both sides by -2, a "less-than" sign should be replaced by a "greater-than" sign.
Multiply boat length (in feet) by boat width (in feet), then divide by 15.
Its less awkward with decimals with a decimal point to multiply the top and bottom out to remove the decimal points. example: divide 125.24 by 8.6 so 125.24/8.6 , so multiply top and bottom by 100, gives 12524/860 , then divide out, the result is the same.
The relation = , is less than, is greater than inequality sign
A pint is 16 ounces. Whether you multiply or divide depends on which units you use to compare. To compare as pints, you need to divide ounces by 16. 96/16 = 6 which is less than 8 pints. To compare ounces, you need to multiply pints by 16. 8 * 16 = 128 which is more than 96 ounces.
Multiply the feet by 12, or divide the inches by 12. Then you can easily compare the two measurements.
The difference is that instead of the sign "=", an inequality sign, for example "<" (less-than) is used. For solving inequalities, you can add, subtract, multiply or divide both sides by the same number, similar to an equation; however, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. For example, "<" becomes ">".

Zero (0) --> 5 * 0 = 0 --> 0 < 5 (Zero is less than Five)
