For Question 1, to solve the inequality \( 9y < 36 \), you should divide by 9 on both sides of the inequality. This gives you:

\[ y < \frac{36}{9} \]

\[ y < 4 \]

So the correct response is: Divide by 9 on both sides of the inequality.

For Question 2, the graph that shows the solution to \( 9y < 36 \) will be a number line where all points to the left of 4 (not including 4 itself) are shaded. The graph would typically have an open circle at 4 to indicate that 4 is not included in the solution set.
