How do you know a fraction is equivalant to another fraction?
Fractions A/B and C/D are equivalent if the cross-multiples are equal. That is, is A*D = B*CFractions A/B and C/D are equivalent if the cross-multiples are equal. That is, is A*D = B*CFractions A/B and C/D are equivalent if the cross-multiples are equal. That is, is A*D = B*CFractions A/B and C/D are equivalent if the cross-multiples are equal. That is, is A*D = B*C
If a divides b and b divides a then a is equal to b?
If a divides b and b divides a then either a is equal to b or a is equal to -b. Additional note: if a divides b, there exist a p such that ap=b. and if b divides a, there exist a q such that a=bq. then ap=(bq)p=b => b(1-pq)=0 => pq=1 since b!=0 => p=q=1 or p=q=-1 => a=b or a=-b
Can you a rule for the perimeter of a rectangle where b is equal to base and h is equal to height?
2(b+h)
Why division is not commutative property?
It is because a/b does not necessarily equal b/a. If this were true, then a2 = b2, which implies a = +/- b, which does not have to be true.Likewise, subtraction is not commutative, because a-b does not have to be equal to b-a. Here, subtraction is anticommutative because a-b = -(b-a).
For real numbers a and b when is the equation a plus b equals a-b true?
a + b = a - bSubtract a from each side:+ b = - bThe only way that 'b' can equal its own negative is if b=0.So (a + b) can equal (a - b) only if b=0.(It doesn't matter what 'a' is.)
