y=2/3 * -3/1?

Question

cross mutipling is to hard how do you solve this problem and how did you get it

this is the times sign=*

Answer 1

You don't cross multiply. You multiply the denominators and you multiply the numerators. So:

y = (2 * -3) / (3 * 1) = -6/3

Reduce to -2

Answer 2

y=2/3 * -3/1
y = -2
:>:

Answer 3

y= -2 ??

-3 times 2 over 3

Answer 4

The answer is - 2, and here's how to get it.

But first, you DON'T "cross-multiply," you CROSS-DIVIDE! :

There's a ' 3 ' in a numerator; and a ' 3 ' in a denominator.
Therefore, those two 3's CANCEL one another.

You're now left with a 2 in a numerator, a 1 in a denominator, and a ' - ' sign. Gather these all together :

The result is - 2.

Live long and prosper.

Answer 5

Y=2/3*-3/1
Y=-2

Answer 6

not cross multiplying here. Straight multiplication on numerators and denominatore

y=2*(-3)/3*1 =-6/3 = -2

Answer 7

First multiply the two numerators (numbers on top of the fraction) to get the new numerator

2 x -3=-6

Then multiply the two denominators (numbers on bottom) to get the new denominator

3 x 1=3

So your answer is -6/3, which reduces to -2/1 or, most simply, -2.

Answer 8

2*-3 = -6
3*1 = 3
therefore y= -6/3 = -2

Answer 9

2 x -3
---------- = -2
3 x1

you just cross out the 3's. on top that would leave you with 2 x -1 & on bottom 1x1 (remember any number divided by itself is 1, careful of the signs though)

Answer 10

you can first reduce it, cross out the 3's since they cancel, and you're left with (2/1)*(-1/1) which also equals 2 * -1 and answer is -2
