This is correct:
-1/3 t > -1/6
Multiply out by 3:
-t > -1/2
Multiply out by -1:
t < 1/3 note how the direction changed
t never reaches 1/3, but is less than it

No, starting with an inequality, your answer must be an inequality
1/6-1/3 t>0 subtract 1/6 frrm each side (you did this)
-1/3 t>-1/6 multiply both sides bt -3 AND FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN
T<1/2

remember that this is an inequality and towards the end you got rid of the greater than sign.
1/6 - 1/3t > 0
-1/3t > -1/6, mult by 3
-t > -1/2 , mult by -1. you must reverse the greater than sign to become less than
t < 1/2

Close
1/3 of 1/2 = 1/6 - you have that much correct.
However you forgot your sign - and your inequality symbol.
t < -1/2
So you have a negative * negative = positive, and;
increasingly small 't' so you are moving away (staying
greater than) zero.

you did it wrong! here is how you do it.
-1/3 t > -1/6
Multiply out by 3:
-t > -1/2
Multiply out by -1:
t < 1/3

wrong. t< 1/2. when doing an inequality, change the direction of the sign when dividing by a negative number.

I hope you realize you switched from a '>' to a '='. There is a dramatic difference.
