$a/b=c$, how to move the numerator to the right side of the equation
Given an equation of the form $a/b=c$, how do you move $a$, the numerator, over to the other side so that you get $b =c?$ (where $?$ denotes my ignorance of what the right side should look like).

$\endgroup$ $\begingroup$I know this has been answered but here is it worded. You multiply the denominator out by multiplying both sides so: a/b = c becomes a/bb = cb. As you are multiplying the fraction by the denominator the denominator and the multiplier cancel out and you are left with a = bc. You cannot get rid of a letter but if you wanted b on one side then you would simply move c, to do this you factorise so its a = b(c). You then divide both sides by c, so then a/c = (b(c))/c. Then the c on the numerator and denominator cancel out so you will be left with a/c = b or rearrange to b = a/c.
