Explaining Equivalent Inequalities in Inventory Reporting

Imagine you are a shift supervisor training a new team member to write inventory comparison reports. Write a brief explanation for them on how to reverse an inequality statement without changing its meaning.

In your explanation:

  1. Show how to rewrite the inequality x<yx < y (representing Product X having fewer units than Product Y) starting with Product Y.
  2. State the general mathematical rule for rewriting any simple inequality statement to its equivalent reversed form.
  3. Show how to rewrite the inequality a>ba > b (representing Department A's sales being greater than Department B's sales) starting with Department B.
