Question

The quotient of d and -1/4 is less than -3/2. Write as an inequality

Answer 1

Explanation:

this quotient is:

d

------------

(-1/4)

Then:

d

------------ < -3/2

(-1/4)

You weren't asked to solve this. But if you wish to do so:

-4d < -3/2

Multiplying both sides by 2, to eliminate the fraction:

-8d < -3

Dividing both sides by -8, we get d > 3/8. We must change the direction of the original inequality sign.
