Please help...I will fan and award medals. t/s = 6/5 is equivalent to s/t = 5/6, where is ≠ 0 and t ≠ 0. True or false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe the answer is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the second ratio is simply the reciprocal of the first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that second bit of information is confusing me

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're right ! \(s \ne 0\), \(t \ne 0\) is just a customary information telling u that they s and t dont equal 0, as that wud make the ratio undefined

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

dividing by 0 is illegal in math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, no you're right huh, I learned something new, thnx! :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :)
