i love math so much i have a proof for this:
consider (a/b)*(c/d) = n
let a/b = v
c/d = t
division is the oppsosite of multiplication by definition
so (a/b)*b = a
a = v*b
c = t*d

so a*c = v*b*t*d
v*t = n
so a*c = n*b*d
(a*c)/(b*d) = (n*b*d)/(b*d)
(a*c)/(b*d) = n
n = (a/b)*(c/d)
we are done the proof

note : i took as a fact that multiplication is commutative and associative

Hi, Mr. Gibson, I was wondering if you could rearrange your chemistry course playlists in a chronological order? I noticed that some of them aren’t, so it got confusing to not watch the lectures in order. Thanks in advance!
