How to solve one-step multiplication and division equations with fractions and decimals

"Learn how to solve equations in one step by multiplying or dividing a number from both sides. These problems involve decimals and fractions.

Grade 6th on Khan Academy: By the 6th grade, you're becoming a sophisticated mathemagician. You'll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide any non-negative numbers (including decimals and fractions) that any grumpy ogre throws at you. Mind-blowing ideas like exponents (you saw these briefly in the 5th grade), ratios, percents, negative numbers, and variable expressions will start being in your comfort zone. Most importantly, the algebraic side of mathematics is a whole new kind of fun! And if that is not enough, we are going to continue with our understanding of ideas like the coordinate plane (from 5th grade) and area while beginning to derive meaning from data! (Content was selected for this grade level based on a typical curriculum in the United States.)

At 2:25 When he solves 1/4 = y/12 he can also divide 12 by 4 which = 3 and he can multiply 1 by 3 (that he got by dividing 12 by 4) to solve for Y which I think would be easier.

Slow put at both 2x speed and .5 it’s so funny XD

[misssalmon]

Omg you're a life saver!! THANK YUUU

[JasonSanders]

why do you keep mulitiplying things by 10? (1:35) why does the 10 come in like that? is it to get rid of the decimals? and is it always 10 for question?

[Stephanie-kxoc]

how do u know when to multiple and when to divide?

[ricardoalcaraz]

I don't understand the first problem how you 10 fits there 10x each part?

His mom is from West Bengal, India and his dad is from Barisal, Bangladesh, so that makes them both Bengali. So Sal is not only Indian, but he is also Bengali too like me.
