Assuming that a, b and a/b(a divided by b) are whole numbers and b is not equal to 0. Explain why (a / b) xb= a ((a divided by b) x b = a). Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming that a, b and a/b(a divided by b) are whole numbers and b is not equal to 0. Explain why (a / b) xb= a ((a divided by b) x b = a).
------------------
If a|b then b = ka where k is a whole number
and k = b/a
----------------
So, (a/b)x b
= (a/ka)x b
= (1/k)x b
= (1/(b/a))x b
= (a/b)x b
= a
