Answer:

This one is a bit easy, so if you need a harder one, just let me know.

((32/48) x (4/6)) / (2/5)

Explanation:

1) You can simplify both (32/48) and (4/6) to (2/3).

2) Multiply (2/3) by itself, giving (4/9).

3) Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal, or opposite. In this example, the reciprocal of (2/5) is (5/2). Thus, (4/9) x (5/2) = (20/18).

4) Simplify your answer, to (10/9) or 1 and 1/9 (as a mixed fraction).
