to get rid of the decimal multiple 1 by 10 and remove the decimal of 0.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get rid of the decimal multiple 1 by 10 and remove the decimal of 0.1\[\frac{ 1 }{ 0.1 } = 10\] \[\frac{ 1 \times 10 }{ 1 } = 10\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you able to understand?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

i understand 100%, but isn't dividing numbers the same thing as multiplying by it's reciprocal?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

you know what i mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 100 }{ 10 }\] is dividing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100/10 on reciprocating is 10/100

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[1 รท 3 = 1 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

\[\frac{ 1\times10 }{ 0.1\times10 } = \frac{ 10 }{ 1 }\]
