The problem to solve is:

d/5>4

First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the d/5
This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all.
To divide d by 1 The d just gets copied along in the numerator. The answer is d d/5 evaluates to 1/5d So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as:1/5d Now, let's work on the right hand side of your inequality, the 4
The right hand side of your inequality can be written as: 4 So with these (any) simplifications, the inequality we'll set out to solve is:
1/5d > 4

To isolate the d, we have to divide both sides of the inequality by the other "stuff" (variables or coefficients)
around the d on the left side of the inequality.
The last step is to divide both sides of the inequality by 1/5 like this:
To divide d by 1 The d just gets copied along in the numerator. The answer is d 1/5d ÷ 1/5 = d 4 ÷ 1/5 = 20

The solution to your inequality is:

d > 20

So, your solution is:
d must be greater than 20.


HOPE THIS HELPS!
