Yes, it is an equivalent expression because even though you move two pieces of an equation it will still equal the same thing, unless there are parentheses involved.
Given:
Circular racetrack with a diameter of 1/2 mile
Find: how far does a car travel in one lap around the track?
We need to find the circumference of the racetrack.
Circumference is multiplying pi to the diameter of the racetrack.
Circumference = 3.14 * 1/2 mile
Circumference = 3.14/2 mile
Circumference = 1.57 miles rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.60 miles.
