How Do You Solve a Decimal Inequality Using Division?

How Do You Solve a Decimal Inequality Using Division?

Note:

To solve an inequality containing decimals for a variable, focus on isolating that variable on one side of the inequality. In this tutorial, you'll see how to divide decimals in order to isolate the variable and find the answer to the inequality. Just be sure to follow the division property of inequality!

      What's the Division Property of Inequality?

      Ever wondered what rules you're allowed to follow when you're working with inequalities? Well, one of those rules is called the division property of inequality, and it basically says that if you divide one side of an inequality by a number, you can divide the other side of the inequality by the same number. However, you have to be very careful about the direction of the inequality! Watch the tutorial to see how this looks in terms of algebra!
