The easiest way to deal with fractions is to get rid of them by multiplying the entire inequality by a common factor:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1) -1 > or = 1/4x [Multiply each term by \"4\". This will get rid of the fraction]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(-1 > = 1/4x)
\n" ); document.write( "(4)(-1)>=(4)(1/4)x [Cancel wherever possible]
\n" ); document.write( "-4>=x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2) 1/2 > or = -1/6 -2/9x
\n" ); document.write( "18(1/2 > or = -1/6 -2/9x)[Multiply each term by \"18\"]
\n" ); document.write( "(18)(1/2)>=(18)(-1/6) - (18)(2/9x) [Cancel wherever possible]
\n" ); document.write( "9>=-3-4x [Solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "9+3>=-3+3-4x
\n" ); document.write( "12>=-4x
\n" ); document.write( "12/-4>=-4x/4 [Switch the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative #]
\n" ); document.write( "-3<=x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3) 2/3x -3 < 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(2/3x -3 < 1)[Multiply each term by \"3\"]
\n" ); document.write( "(3)(2/3)x-(3)(3)<(3)(1)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-9<3[Solve for x]
\n" ); document.write( "2x-9+9<3+9
\n" ); document.write( "2x<12
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2<12/2
\n" ); document.write( "x<6
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
