Solve the inequality.
1/4x < 0.325
A. x > 1.3
B. x > 0.08125
C. x < 1.3
D. x < 0.08125
do i divide or multiply here? i think it's divide, in that case, i'd answer C.
You're right.
thanks!!!!!!!
To solve the given inequality, you need to divide both sides of the inequality by 1/4 to isolate the variable x.
1/4x < 0.325
Divide both sides by 1/4:
(1/4x) / (1/4) < 0.325 / (1/4)
x < 0.325 / (1/4)
When you divide by a fraction, it is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. So, you need to multiply 0.325 by the reciprocal of 1/4, which is 4/1 or simply 4.
x < 0.325 * 4
x < 1.3
So, the correct answer is C. x < 1.3.
