It's powerful to still know how to use cross multiplication (here calculating dimensions for a video conversion). Thanks to my math teachers at Bedford Elementary School, Sudbrook Middle School, and Milford Mill High for showing me the power of math... even wacky Blooma Friedman, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, who insisted we learn how to use a slide rule (sorry Blooma, I did forget that).
Found this old envelope in a box in the closet. What is the arithmetic she was doing? The right side looks like it was interrupted in the middle of subtraction.
Demand it!
