Question

How do you solve 8/11 x 3/5 x 11/24? I figure the answer would be 264/1,320 but if that's correct how do you simplify such a large number?

Answer 1

Yeah it is 264/1320 and I just divide both of them by smaller numbers multiple times until it can't be simplified anymore.

264/1320÷2=132/660

132/660÷2=66/330

66/330÷2=33/165

33/164÷11=3/15

3/15÷3=1/5

So the simplified version of 64/1320 is 1/5.

Hope this helps! :)
