Example Question #32 : Multiplying And Dividing Fractions

Simplify the following expression:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Cancel out terms with common factors.

Example Question #207 : Fractions

Simplify the following fractional expression:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the following fractional expression:

To simplify the expression, we need to simplify each fraction and then multiply.

To simplify each fraction, try to look for common factors on the tops and bottoms of each fraction.

Note how the common-colored numbers can cancel out to simplify the entire expression into:

Example Question #4549 : Algebra Ii

Divide:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To divide this, we will need to convert the sign to multiplication and take the reciprocal of the second term in the expression.

Multiply the first term with the numerator of the fraction.

The fraction cannot be reduced.

The answer is:  

Example Question #211 : Fractions

Multiply:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Instead of multiplying the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator, find the common factors of the terms in the fractions.

Write out the common factors in the fractions.

Cancel out the common terms in the numerator and denominator.

The answer is .

Example Question #1886 : Mathematical Relationships And Basic Graphs

A recipe for a cake calls for two-thirds a cup of flower per cake. If you have 12 cups of flour, how many cakes can you make?

Possible Answers:

Can not be determined

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The key here is to recognize that you are dividing twelve by two-thirds because that will give you the total number of cakes that twelve cups of flour.

So:

When you divide fractions, it is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of one of the divisor.

Which looks like this:
