Question

Can someone please HELP ME I HAVE A TEST TMRW I STUDIED BUT I FORGOT HOW TO DO THIS STUFF CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT TO ME

Answer 1

1. (a. 8 b. 3 d. 6,6,12 e. 3,3,9) 2. (a. 2,3 b. 4,5 c. 6,6,2,3 d. 5,3,5) 3. (a.2/3 b.1/3 c.2/3 f.1/2 g.7/8 h.4/5)

Explanation:

OK this is quite simple. Just multiply the top and bottom, otherwise known as the numerators and denominators, by whatever is next to it. In this case, 1a is
`(2*4)/(5*4)`.

That would result in
`(8)/(20)`

Answer 2

Hey there!

In order to multiply fractions, we should multiply the numerator of the 1st fraction by the numerator of the 2nd fraction.

Same with denominators.

Let's multiply these fractions.

2/5=2*4/5*4=8/20

2/3=2*6/3*6=12/18

1/4=1*3/4*3=3/12

3/4=3*3/4*3=9/12

now divide:

10/15=10:5/15:5=2/3

12/18=12:6/18:6=2/3

12/15=12:3/15:3=4/5

15/25=15:5/25:5=3/5

Now, simplify the following fractions:

4/6

divide the top & bottom by 2:

2/3

next:

5/10

divide the top & bottom by 5:

1/2

next

5/15

divide the top & bottom by 5:

1/3

next:

12/18

divide the top & bottom. by 6

2/3

next

5/10

divide the top & bottom by 5

1/2

next

14/16

divide the top & bottom by 2

7/8

and then last but not least

28/35

divide the top & bottom by 7

4/5

And we're done!

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
