Question

how do you simplify this 
2 6/72

anonymous · Answer

I'm going to go forward and assume that this is:

$$2 \times \frac{ 6 }{ 72 }$$

At which point the 2 is multiplied times the 6 so you receive:

$$\frac{ 12 }{ 72 }$$

Now then, you want to simplify this fraction. A common number that both go into is 12, but you can start out with 2 and work your way up to 12 if you don't immediately see 12.

12/12=1
72/12=6

Therefore:

$$\frac{ 12 }{ 72 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }$$

anonymous · Answer

it is 2 wholes and 6 over 72

So:

$$2+\frac{ 6 }{ 72 }$$
?

i need  help on this one instead 
$$1\frac{ 3}{ 8}*2\frac{ 2}{ 9}$$

anonymous · Answer

Well, 1 = x/8? In other words, how many 8's are in 1 when divided by 8? Add that number to 3. Do the same thing for 2 +2/9 and then multiply the combined top and bottom.
