1) Multiply 5 * 6 4/15 which gives you 94/3

Simplify that and you get 31 1/3

5) 12 goes into 17 1 time so 1 is the whole number. The remainder is 5

1 5/12

6) When dividing fractions, find the reciprocal of the second number and multiply

15 * 3/20 = 2 1/4

10) All of the denominators can go into 12. 12 is the smallest number that is common for them so therefore, it is the answer.
