🔍 Understanding Inverse Operations


- Multiplication and division are inverse operations.
- If:
$ a \times b = c $,
then:
$ c \div a = b $ and $ c \div b = a $

We'll use this relationship to create all four equations for each set of numbers.

## Q1) 7, 70, 10 (Already done as example)
- Sum 1: $ 7 \times 10 = 70 $
- Sum 2: $ 10 \times 7 = 70 $
- Sum 3: $ 70 \div 7 = 10 $
- Sum 4: $ 70 \div 10 = 7 $

✔️ Correct! This shows the pattern.

## 🟦 Q2) 9, 2, 18

We know:
- $ 9 \times 2 = 18 $
- $ 2 \times 9 = 18 $
- $ 18 \div 9 = 2 $
- $ 18 \div 2 = 9 $

So:

- Sum 1: $ 9 \times 2 = 18 $
- Sum 2: $ 2 \times 9 = 18 $
- Sum 3: $ 18 \div 9 = 2 $
- Sum 4: $ 18 \div 2 = 9 $

Done!

## 🟦 Q3) 30, 5, 6

Check: Is $ 5 \times 6 = 30 $? Yes!

So:
- $ 5 \times 6 = 30 $
- $ 6 \times 5 = 30 $
- $ 30 \div 5 = 6 $
- $ 30 \div 6 = 5 $

So:

- Sum 1: $ 5 \times 6 = 30 $
- Sum 2: $ 6 \times 5 = 30 $
- Sum 3: $ 30 \div 5 = 6 $
- Sum 4: $ 30 \div 6 = 5 $

Done!

## 🟦 Q4) 3, 21, 7

Check: $ 3 \times 7 = 21 $? Yes!

So:
- $ 3 \times 7 = 21 $
- $ 7 \times 3 = 21 $
- $ 21 \div 3 = 7 $
- $ 21 \div 7 = 3 $

So:

- Sum 1: $ 3 \times 7 = 21 $
- Sum 2: $ 7 \times 3 = 21 $
- Sum 3: $ 21 \div 3 = 7 $
- Sum 4: $ 21 \div 7 = 3 $

Done!

---

## 🟦 Q5) 24, 4, 6

Check: $ 4 \times 6 = 24 $? Yes!

So:
- $ 4 \times 6 = 24 $
- $ 6 \times 4 = 24 $
- $ 24 \div 4 = 6 $
- $ 24 \div 6 = 4 $

So:

- Sum 1: $ 4 \times 6 = 24 $
- Sum 2: $ 6 \times 4 = 24 $
- Sum 3: $ 24 \div 4 = 6 $
- Sum 4: $ 24 \div 6 = 4 $

Done!

---

## 🟦 Q6) 8, 40, 5

Check: $ 8 \times 5 = 40 $? Yes!

So:
- $ 8 \times 5 = 40 $
- $ 5 \times 8 = 40 $
- $ 40 \div 8 = 5 $
- $ 40 \div 5 = 8 $

So:

- Sum 1: $ 8 \times 5 = 40 $
- Sum 2: $ 5 \times 8 = 40 $
- Sum 3: $ 40 \div 8 = 5 $
- Sum 4: $ 40 \div 5 = 8 $

Done!

📌 Summary


For any three numbers where one is the product of the other two:
- Two multiplication equations (order doesn't matter)
- Two division equations (product divided by either factor gives the other)

This reinforces understanding of multiplicative relationships and how multiplication and division are inverses.
