4) what number makes this inequality equivalent
-6v ; v>-0.5
To find a number that makes the inequality -6v equivalent to v > -0.5, we need to isolate v on one side of the inequality.
Given the inequality -6v, to isolate v, we need to divide both sides by -6. When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips.
So, let's divide both sides of the inequality by -6:
-6v / -6 > (-0.5) / -6
This simplifies to:
v < 1/12
Therefore, the inequality -6v is equivalent to v < 1/12.
