If you're multiplying by 10, you're moving the decimal point to the right, the same with any multiplication in the 10's, so 100, 1,000, etc. This is because you are making the number 10 times larger, so if you had 3.4, the 4 is in the 1/10 column so multiplying by 10 would put it in the units column, making the number 34.
On the other hand, dividing by the 10's makes the decimal point move to the left because you are making the number 10 times smaller, so if the units column is worth 1, then 10 times less than that is 1/10, which is the first decimal place.
I hope this helps! I tried to explain it well but let me know if you still don't understand or if I've confused you in any way :)
Answer:
The inequality
represents the length of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

Where, h is woman's height in centimeters and f is length of the femur in centimeters.
If woman's height is greater than 160cm, then


Substract 60 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 2.5.

Therefore the inequality
represents the lengths of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.
10 >= 7 + 3x -4x+9<=1
-7 >= -7 - subtract 7 -9<=-9 - Subtract 9
