Question

Two expressions are shown below:

1. 514÷23
2. 514×32

Without solving these expressions, determine if they are equivalent. How do you know? (Please help..)

Answer 1

Clearly they are not equivalent because division will get you a smaller number ( except when decimals are in used or special cases ) as an answer and division times the number that will oppositely get you a bigger number ( again, except the decimal or special cases )
