Verify the Equation: Is (3×7)/(7×3) = 0 Correct?

Question

Determine if the simplification below is correct:

$\frac{3\cdot7}{7\cdot3}=0$

00:00 Determine if the reduction is correct

00:07 We'll reduce what we can, when reducing the entire fraction 1 always remains

00:14 Let's compare the expressions

00:23 And this is the solution to the question

We will divide the fraction exercise into two different multiplication exercises.

As this is a multiplication exercise, you can use the substitution property:

$\frac{7}{7}\times\frac{3}{3}=1\times1=1$

Therefore, the simplification described is false.
