Peter Taylor understands my question faultlessly, but the hitch is that he doesn't know how to intuit this?I'm seeking intuition like [these questions](https://math.stackexchange.com/search?tab=Votes&pagesize=50&q=%5bintuition%5d%20is%3aquestion). Intuitively, why $pq = tr \equiv p\q = r/t$?

- Peter Taylor understands my question faultlessly, but the hitch is that he doesn't know how to intuit this? This is the same question as https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2667399, but I'm seeking a better explanation than cakes and pieces of cake.

How can Cross Multiplication be intuited or pictured? average(average(a,b),c) vs. average(a,average(b,c)).
