Why do you cross-multiply when you solve proportions?

Mathematics

Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:  The reason you cross multiply fractions is to compare them. Cross multiplying fractions tells us if the two fractions are equal or which one is greater. This is especially useful when you are working with larger fractions that you aren't sure how to reduce.

It works cause they have the same denominator

Help with this math homework please

Answer:

When you add an irrational and rational number the sum becomes irrational as well.

Alright so let's pick an irrational number I'm gonna say pi. A rational number, let's go with 1. Pi plus 1 is about 4.14 rounded to the nearest hundredth. How about multiplying? It's pi still cause anything times one equals itself.
