Question

Nate solves the equation 3*5=15 by writing and solving 15:5=3. Explain why Nate's method works

Answer 1

Nate’s method works because multiplication and division are the inverse of each other. This means that when you divide 15 (the dividend) by 5 (the divisor) and get 3 (the quotient), the quotient and the divisor multiplied together are factors of the dividend, which becomes a product.
