Answer 1

first off, there is no such thing as "cross multiply"

Answer 2

In my school they use cross multiplying as simplify im only in 6th grade

Answer 3

divie \(6\) by \(\frac{2}{4}\) which is the same as multiplying \(6\) times \(\frac{4}{3}\)

Answer 4

tell your teacher satellite73 said there is no such mathematical operation as "cross multiply" and to remove that from his or her vocabulary

Answer 5

answer is 7 and 1/2 pillow cases

Answer 6

I sure will!

Answer 7

in any case your job is to compute
\[\large 6\div \frac{3}{4}=6\times \frac{4}{3}\]

Answer 8

its called cross simplifying

Answer 9

cancel first, multiply last
the answer is not seven and a half

Answer 10

there is not such thing as "cross simplifying" either
or "simplify" for that matter

Answer 11

Honestly rounding that was mental math and it is close to the answer and it is cross products

Answer 12

I got 8 as an answer, is it correct?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

three goes in to six two times, two times four is eight

Answer 15

Ever heard of cross products...

Answer 16

I simplified both fractions

Answer 17

yes of course
for vectors

Answer 18

Ps i might sound dum because im really really really tired

Answer 19

6/1 / 3/4 = 6/1 * 4/3 = 24/3 = 8
so 8 pillowcases
