Answer:

Explanation:

look at your bases! do you see how the bases are 3, 17 and 4? All you need to do is find the least common multiple for the numbers, and you will have a base.

If you do that, you get a base of 207.

First, multiply all the fractions top and bottom by 207:

then multiply the top numbers, and leave the bottom the same, to get an answer. Now, simplify.

You should get 2/17 hopefully :)
