Answer 4

ow do you simplify

Answer 5

is it 12/16

Answer 6

(6*8)/*(8*2)

Answer 7

i dont know how to simplify

Answer 8

divide both numerator and denomitaor with 4 since 4 is the common number

Answer 9

so 12/16 becomes 3/4

Answer 10

the rule to follow here is:\[\frac{a}{b}\div\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times\frac{d}{c}\]

Answer 11

so, in your case, we have:\[\frac{6}{8}\div\frac{2}{8}=\frac{6}{\cancel{8}}\times\frac{\cancel{8}}{2}\]

Answer 12

@haileyshay can you work it out now?

Answer 13

I agree, but we can also do something like \[ {a \over c} \div {b \over d} = {a \div b \over c \div d} \Longrightarrow {6 \div 2 \over 8 \div 8}\] :)

Answer 14

(6*8)/*(8*2) = 48/16 = 3

Answer 15

That gives us the computation directly.
