(1/3)*(2/4)*(3/5)*(4/6)*( 5/7)*(6/8)*(7/9)*(8/10) = (1/10) * ? A: (3/19) B: (2/9) C: (1/9) D: (2/90)
\[\frac{1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8}{3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10} = \frac{1}{10}*x =\frac{1*2*\cancel{3*4*5*6*7*8}}{\cancel{3*4*5*6*7*8}*9*10} \]
If only I was smart as you. I don't think outside the box. T~T So let see, the numerator is 2. Denominator is 90 So it's (2/90)?
Oh wait. I chose D, but I got it wrong.
bow whpalmer4 can I be your student?
No, after cancellation we have \[\frac{1*2}{9*10} = \frac{1}{10}*x\]
Oh I see. \[\large \large \frac{ 2 }{ 90 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 10 }x\] Let see if I can remember this. We times both side by 10?
Wait! Stop! Look! \[\frac{1*2}{9*10} = \frac{1}{10}*x\] \[\frac{1*2}{10*9} = \frac{1}{10}*x\]
I don't get it. Isn't it the same thing?
Prepare your forehead for imminent impact :-) \[\frac{1*2}{10*9} = \frac{1}{10}*x\]\[\frac{1}{10}*\frac{2}{9} = \frac{1}{10}*x\]
o.O?
\[\cancel{\frac{1}{10}*}\frac{2}{9} = \cancel{\frac{1}{10}}*x\]
OH WOW! T~T
I wasn't prepared for that...
Don't worry, those forehead dents go away quickly :-)
I hope so. T~T Thanks! :D
