You have to flip the inequality sign. If it is less than(<) it has to become greater than(>). If it is greater than(>), it has to become less than(<). If it is less than equal to(<=), it has to become greater than equal to(>=). If it is greater than equal to(>=)., it must become less than equal to(<=).

One simple way to solve this is to actually do the multiplication. Then you can compare.
By multiplying its base or height by a number greater than 1 or less than 1
I suspect you mean the signs < and > meaning "less than" or "greater than". (There is no flip of the inequality sign, which is an equals sign with a line through it). You have to flip when you multiply a "greater or less than" eqequation if you multiply the equatiob through by -1. Example: you have 2>1, and -2<-1.

easy, just cross multiply
It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.

If you multiply your number by any number greater than 1, the result will be greater than the starting number - assuming your number is positive. If your number is negative, you need to multiply it by any number less than 1, to get a result that is greater than the original number. To get a number that is slightly greater, multiply by a number that is slightly greater than 1 (ot slightly lee than= -1).
the answer is 0.5
To make the product equal to 3.2, multiply by one. To make the product greater or lesser than 3.2 multiply by a number greater or lesser than one, respectively.
2/100 is less than 5/100. When in doubt multiply both by the greatest decimal place. Ex. these both happened to be hundredths. If you had .2 and .05 you would multiply both by 100 leaving 20/100 and 5/100. I hope this makes sense.
0.4 is greater. Four parts out of ten is greater than four parts out of 100.
