How come you change a division sign into a multiplication sign for dividing fractions?
Flip the fraction around (the one after the division sign) and change it to a multiplication sign. (swap the numerator with the denominator) so 2/(3/10) = 2*(10/3) The reason you do so is if you think of multiplication and dividing revolving around the number 1, in multiplying if you are above 1 then you are increasing if you are lower you are increasing. The opposite is the same of division. Effectively, if you think about it multiplication is the inverse of division and the other way around as well, so by flipping the fraction you are inverting it, so instead of dividing by 0.5 you multiply by 2. I hope this makes sense, it could be shown algebraically, but it is probably easier to understand this way.

When you are using scientific notation why do you use a x instead of a regular multiplication sign?
Purely a matter of convenience. 'x' is an acceptable character that means "multiplied by", and it appears on the keyboard, whereas the regular multiplication sign doesn't. Well . . . to be perfectly honest, we don't even know what a "regular multiplication sign" is. ======================================== Another contributor agreed: I was just going to ask that, what is a regular multiplication sign?

I just learned about scientific notation and asked my teacher the same question. She didn't know.
