Cross-simplification is a technique used to simplify the multiplication of fractions.
It is possible when the fractions have common factors that can be divided out.
For example the multiplication of the fractions 6/2 * 2/5 = (6*2)/(2*5). The 2's can be simplified out so that the multiplication is simply 6/1 * 1/5 = 6/5.

Do you cross simplify in multiplying fractions?
65
How do you simplify fractions with proper and improper?
by cross multipling
Are equivlant fractions proportinal?
Yes, because you can simplify the fractions then check the Cross products
When cross simplifying with fractions do you have to simplify just with the number or can you simplify with another number that goes into both?
Example: 1/15 x 9/2 In this case, you can cross simplify. No, it does not have to be simplified with whatever numbers are given. You just have to find the GCF which is 3 in this case. Now you should have: 1/5 x 3/2 = 3/10.
How do you you cross multiply?
if youre dealing with fractions then you multiply top by top and bottom by bottom then simplify
What is cross canceling in dividing fractions?
Cross canceling is a way to simplify or reduce fractions before multiplying them. For example, 2/4 x 1/6 can be reduced to 1/4 x 1/3 by cross canceling.
How do you do cross multiplication?
Take the two fractions and put them side to side and multiply the numerator and the numerator and the denominator by the denominator and simplify if needed
Can you cross simplify in a division problem?
Yes you can but you have to turn you division into multiplication first. Remember to divide fraction you can multiply by the reciprocal. Example: 2/4 devided by 4/6 is solved by flipping the 4/6 and multiplying. So 2/4 decided by 4/6 = 2/4 times 6/4 You can cross simplify the multiplication problem.
How do you Simplify 5n3 plus 7n?
The problem doesn't make sense that you just said. You would have to use algebra. Use the inverses to cross out the variables from each side. Use the ones with like terms first. Then simplify. Calculators help with this type of problem.
Will 412 simplify?
No it will not simplify.
When simplifying algebra can you simplify 1 over a equals 1 over b to a equals b?
1/a = 1/b: cross multiplying gives a = b
