With fractions do you always have to find a common denominator in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?
For each of the above mathematical operations?
only for add and subtract
So only for addition and subtraction you would find the common denominator? Not or multiplication or division?
What if you have 5/8 divided by 2/3?
I got 15/24 divided 16/24 and now I got stuck.
Why did you change these fractions to fractions with a common denominator?

Okay that is easy.
So then my answer would be 15/16
5/8 divided by 2/3
5/8 x 3/2=15/16
Thank you Ms. Sue.
Yes, 15/16
You're welcome.
