(DAILY DOUBLE!) IF you can tell me what about this statement is false, you will get a piece of pie as a reward: 

When you want to make an equation to be equivalent, you must multiply both sides of the problem to match up the denominators. 

You do not always have to multiply both sides. You only need to multiply until both denominators are matching. (Example) 

34/50 - 18/100 = ? 

(Multiply the first portion by 2 in order to get it's denominator to 100)

Also, you don't get pie.
