The only reason an inequality would change would be because a number is divided or multiplied by a negative number. So if it stayed the same, then it would be because there was no division or multiplication by a negative number. Hope I helped :)

The inequality signs stay the same when you multiply or divide a positive number

They only flip if you multiply or divide a negative number (that is in the divisor place)

hope this helps

A boat travels N 31° E for 65 miles and then N 59° W for 102 miles. Find the distance of the boat from its starting point.

ra1l [238]

The directions of travel are at right angles to each other, so the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the straight-line distance to the starting point. That distance (d) satisfies ...

d² = 65² +102²

d = √(4225 +10404) = √14629 ≈ 120.95

The appropriate choice is ...

... c. 121 miles
