<span>This is a PROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (6) is smaller than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (12).
So the fraction 6/12 is equivalent to 1/2, and in decimal form its 0.5.

Multiply both sides by 8. Then divide both sides by 3. Answer is 8/3
Ok this inequality tells you the number of devices you can have before the new plan costs more than the old plan. The new plan expression is $4.50x + $94m = y ( total cost). The old plan is $175m = y (total cost). You can see m (number of months) in both equations, you don't need it this time since we're going to to compare both to one month. Since they're both equal to y you can make them equal to each other. $4.50x + $94 = $175. Now you want to figure when the new plan is less than the old plan you switch the equal sign for a less than sign. $4.50x + $94 < $175; this will help you find the inequality you want. From there just use algebraic steps to find that x has to less than 18 or
x < 18.
