Step 1
I would multiply the first fraction by 100 on top and bottom to get
1 100 x 2 .
The second fraction is 1 2 and if you multiply the third fraction by 100 top and bottom you get 200 300 x . So the first inequality becomes
1 100 x 2 + 1 2 200 300 x .
Multiply through by 2 to finish clearly fractions to get
1 100 x + 1 400 600 x
500 x 398
x 0.796.
Treat the second inequality the same way, multiplying each fraction, top and bottom by 10.

Step 1
If you multiply the first equation's denominator by 50, you get:
( 0.01 x ) 0.001 4 6 x
Remember that each zero in a decimal is a power of ten and the rest you can see as numbers from 1 9 . Like what I did with the first fraction on the LHS, I multiplied the denominator by 10 first which gave me 0.01 x 0.2 and all I did was then multiply by 5 which gave me 0.01 x .
Remember that you have to multiply the rest of the equation by that amount too - that's why the RHS multiplied by 2 since 0.01 50 = 0.5 which means 0.01 x so I have to multiply the numerator by 2.
See if you can do the second equation using this method - remember to look for an amount which will eliminate all the fractions. I'm thinking 10 for the second equation, but I'll let you take it from there.
