Question

Cross multiplication; 2/3 5/6 Do u just multiply 6 and 2, & 3 and 5????

Answer 1

Answer:

$2 \div 3 \times 5 \div 6 \: = 10 \div 18$

We just have to multiply not cross multiply,

10/18

Now, divide the equation

5/9 will be ur answer

Answer 2

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} \frac{5}{6}$

2 goes into 6 3 times so it would be the same as 1 going into 3 3 times.

$\frac{1}{3} \frac{5}{3}$

Since 3 doesn't go into 5 at all (and by that I mean a whole number) you don't change it.

Multiplying 1/3 and 5/3, you would get 5/9.

Multiplying 2/3 and 5/6, you would get 10/18, which simplifies to 5/9.

That is kind of how cross multiplying works.
