Do you know how to simplify fractions? Like if I gave you the number 3/6, you could tell me that's the same thing as 1/2?

sierra_grey · Answer

yeah, reducing the fraction 3/6 becomes 1/2

anonymous · Answer

Awesome. So if you know that, I think we can get this one done no problem. Same thinking, different problem.

anonymous · Answer

So you've got a number to start with. 4/15.  And you've got a denominator you want to get, 60.

anonymous · Answer

To make it easier, draw it out.
