how do you do one third (h) is less than or equal to 7? do you need to reciprocate the fraction?
(1/3) h ≤ 7
multiply by 3
h ≤ 21
sorry about that the fraction is negative
I still need a answer plz!!!
To solve the inequality "one third (h) is less than or equal to 7," you do not need to reciprocate the fraction. Instead, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by writing the given inequality: 1/3h ≤ 7.
2. To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the inequality by 3. This gives you: (1/3h) * 3 ≤ 7 * 3.
The 3 in the denominator cancels out with the 3 multiplied on the other side.
As a result, you have: h ≤ 21.
3. The inequality h ≤ 21 means that h can be any number less than or equal to 21.
So, the solution to the inequality is h ≤ 21.
Reciprocating the fraction is used when you want to solve equations or inequalities involving fractions, but in this case, multiplying both sides of the inequality by 3 is sufficient to remove the fraction.
