Please Help Me, I'm Desperate
multiply tops and bottoms separately
when dividing, flip the divisor upside down and then multiply.
2/3 * 4/7 = (2*4)/(3*7) = 8/21
2/3 ÷ 4/7 = 2/3 * 7/4 = 14/12
For mixed numbers, convert first to fractions.
2 3/4 * 1 2/5 = 11/4 * 7/5 = 77/20
Now follow the same steps with your numbers. Show your work if you get stuck.
