6.EE.B.7

Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form xp=q and px=q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

6.EE.B.8

Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.
