OpenStudy (jackfrost33):

how is 663,000/0.001 and it be 663

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well x=663 its correct but its not 663,000/0.001 its 663,000*0.001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jackfrost33):

so you multiply it instead of dividing it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes when we cross multiply we multiply numerator by the opposite denominator |dw:1446769490631:dw|
