Why do you cross-multiply when you solve proportions?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Llana [10]2 years ago
5 0

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

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

<h3>The surface area in square meters that Darren has to paint is 426cm^2</h3><h3>∴ A=426cm^2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Darren is painting a wooden block is a rectangular prism

Its length is 12 cm ,width is 9 cm and height is 5 cm

<h3>To find the surface area in square meters that Darren has to paint :</h3>

Let l be the length, w be the width and h be the height

Then l=12 cm , w=9 cm and h=5 cm

The formula for the Surface area is

A=2(lw+wh+hl) square units

Substitute the values in formula we get,

A=2(12(9)+9(5)+5(12))

=2(108+45+60)

=2(213)

=426

<h3>∴ A=426cm^2</h3><h3>∴ the surface area in square meters that Darren has to paint is 426cm^2</h3>
