Question

g/10=10/5

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to cross multiply?

jamesj · Answer

Use exactly the same trick as the last problem.

jamesj · Answer

In the denominator 5 ---> 10, multiplying by 2
So in the numerator 10 ----> g, multiplying by 2.  So g = ?

jamesj · Answer

what answer do you get?

anonymous · Answer

5

jamesj · Answer

No....that's not right.  We MULTIPLIED by 2, not divided by 2.

jamesj · Answer

$$ \frac{10}{5} = \frac{2 \times 10}{2 \times 5} = \frac{g}{10} $$

anonymous · Answer

jamesj · Answer

jamesj · Answer

what is 10/5 in its simplest form?

anonymous · Answer

sorry i have a lot of math to do and i didnt mean to put 5 i meant 20

jamesj · Answer

Here's another way to do the same problem:

10/5 = 10 divided by 5 = 2. 

So with g/20 = g divided by 10 = 2.  

So we want to know the number g when divided by 10 gives 2.  
That's obviously 20.  20 divided by 10 is 2.
