Fractions Fractions oh how I hate! please help solve this problem. I am so confused on how to solve these problems. What is the strategy for this?

Answer 1

you put the whole number over 1 and multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators together and if they are divisible by a number and criss cross like in this case 12 and 6 are both divisible by 6 then you simplify them

Answer 2

5 over 6 ×12 equals 5/6 × 12/1
5×12 over 6×1
60 over 6
=10
