No. Assuming no parentheses, a/b/c = (a/b)/c = a/bc. For example, 1/2/3 = (1/2)/3 = 1/6.
If there are parentheses for the last 2 terms, such as a/(b/c), then it is ac/b.
Similarly, if you see it written out as a complex fraction with the a on the top half and the b/c in the bottom half, then it is the same as ac/b.

Simplify A over B over C?
Sadly, parentheses are not retained when the question is stored,so we can't tell where you meant for them to be.Here are a couple of alternatives:(A/B)/C = A/BCA/(B/C) = A x C/B = AC/B
Ab plus c equals ab plus ac?
Difficult to tell when you cannot use parentheses. a*(b+c) or a(b+c) = ab + ac This is known as the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
A B and C are all squared numbers. A b also a c and b c make squared numbers what are A B and c?
ab x ac = ab - ac
What is a proprtion?
A statement that two ratios are equal; such as A over B equals C over D
What is the answer to this ab - 2B plus ac -2C?

How do you change a mixed number to a imprper fraction?
A mixed number of the form AB/C, as an improper fraction, is equal to (AC + B)/CA mixed number of the form AB/C, as an improper fraction, is equal to (AC + B)/CA mixed number of the form AB/C, as an improper fraction, is equal to (AC + B)/CA mixed number of the form AB/C, as an improper fraction, is equal to (AC + B)/C
Why does distributive property of addition over multiplication only works when the fractions are equal to 1?
There is no distributive property of addition over multiplication. The equation works if a + (b * c) = (a + b)*(a + c) = a2 + ab +ac +bc => a + bc = a2 + ab +ac +bc ie a = a2 + ab + ac = a*(a+b+c) and that, in turn requires that a = 0 or a+b+c = 1 If a, b and c are fractions than the second condition requires the fractions to sum to 1 - not be equal to 1.
What does multiplication property of inequality mean?
If a < b, and c is positive, then ac < bcIf a < b, and c is negative, then ac > bc(inequality swaps over!)

How do you solve a equals b minus 4 over c for b?
Well. Multiply both sides by 'c'. After that you should have something like ac=b-4 then you add 4, to get this result 4+ac=b.
Ab plus c equals ab plus ac?
Difficult to tell when you cannot use parentheses. a*(b+c) or a(b+c) = ab + ac This is known as the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
A B and C are all squared numbers. A b also a c and b c make squared numbers what are A B and c?
ab x ac = ab - ac
How is a plus b over a minus b equals c plus d over c minus d?
(a + b)/(a - b) = (c + d)/(c - d) cross multiply(a + b)(c - d) = (a - b)(c + d)ac - ad + bc - bd = ac + ad - bc - bd-ad + bc = -bc + ad-ad - ad = - bc - bc-2ad = -2bcad = bc that is the product of the means equals the product of the extremesa/b = b/c
What are the properties of equalities?
Properties of EqualitiesAddition Property of Equality (If a=b, then a+c = b+c)Subtraction Property of Equality (If a=b, then a-c = b-c)Multiplication Property of Equality (If a=b, then ac = bc)Division Property of Equality (If a=b and c=/(Not equal) to 0, then a over c=b over c)Reflexive Property of Equality (a=a)Symmetric Property of Equality (If a=b, then b=a)Transitive Property of Equality (If a=b and b=c, then a=c)Substitution Property of Equality (If a=b, then b can be substituted for a in any expression.)

Solution of aXb equals c and bxc equals a?
The only way this could be true is under one of the following conditions:a, b and c are all equal to zerob is equal to 1 and a is equal to cb is equal to -1 and a is equal to -cConsider:ab = cbc = aFirst, plug the second equation into the first one to find the value of b:(bc)(b) = cb2c = cb2 = 1b = ±1Now take those values and plug it into either equation:(1)(c) = ac = aor:(-1)(c) = ac = -aTo prove that the absolute values of c and a must be identical:Given:ab = cbc = aThen:ab/c = 1bc/a = 1Therefore:ab/c = bc/aa2b = bc2a2 = c2|a| = |c|
What property states that if a b and b c then ac?
