4/14*5/16

This one's testing to see if you know the order of operators. At first glance it looks like you want to multiply two fractions, but division and multiplication are always done left to right unless there are parentheses. So divide 4 by 14, multiply the result by 5, and then divide the result of that by 15.

BTW, if this actually is a problem asking you to multiply two fractions, and it just doesn't look that way because of the way you typed it, simplify the first one by dividing top and bottom by 2 and then multiply the two numerators (the top values) together to get the numerator of the result and the two denominators (the bottom values) together to get the denominator of the result.
