Question from Laurie, a student: 1 I don't no where the 24 goes and if the number must be the same to divide into the numerator and the denominator . |
Hi Laurie,
You can think of 24 as 24/1 so
and to multiply two fractions you multiply the numerators and denominators so
Now you can divide 6 into 24 and get 4.
