Answer:

no

Explanation:

30 cents < 10 cents/dime × d dimes < 1 dollar × 100 cents/dollar

if d = 10

30 cents < 10 cents/dime × 10 dime < 1 dollar × 100 cents/dollar

30 cents < 10 cents/dime × 10 dime < 1 dollar × 100 cents/dollar

notice how the units bolded all cancel out, just leaving cents

30 cents < 100 cents is NOT < 100 cents
