True or False?
It's obvious that .
We can rewrite this equation as .
If is fulfilled, then must be fulfilled too.
So must be correct.

The line "If a × b = c × d is fulfilled, then a ÷ c = d ÷ b must be fulfilled too" is made by dividing both sides of the equation by b c : a × b = c × d ⟹ b c a × b = b c c × d ⟹ a ÷ c = d ÷ b From the given, a = 2 , b = 0 , c = 3 , d = 0 , and from above, 2 × 0 = 3 × 0 ⟹ 0 ( 3 ) 2 × 0 = 0 ( 3 ) 3 × 0 ⟹ 2 ÷ 3 = 0 ÷ 0 Since 0 × 3 = 0 , division by zero is implicitly made in the statement, which is not allowed.
