When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

You flip the inequality.
Example: if x > -y and you divide both sides by (-1) then you flip the inequality so: -x < y

The mean number of catfish in all 6 samples is approximately 5.7. If 200 fish are in the pond, which proportion can be used to p

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Using the proportion given, there will be 57 catfish in the pond.

The proportion given to us is

5.7/20 = x/200

Cross multiply:

5.7*200 = 20*x

1140 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20:

1140/20 = 20x/20

57 = x
