Help anyone????
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
Have you considered putting ALL the fractions in their lowest terms?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. I didn't know how to do that
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
Ah, well, then you cannot solve the first problem. Is this a placement exam?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll take that as a "no". A Placement Exam is a test to see what sort of class you should be in. Since you appear to have no background in reducing fractions, you should be in a class where you have a chance to learn that sort of thing.
If you are in a class where you are required to reduce fractions, and you have no idea how to do that, you are totally in the wrong class and you will spend lots of time struggling.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Reduce all of the fractions to their lowest form. Find out what common multiple they have and divide it by that number.
So for 16/24...what number can you divide the numerator (top of fraction) that can also be used to divide the denominator (bottom of fraction) without turning it into a decimal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK. Thanks for helping me out. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No problem, I'll stick around to see if you get it.

I can divide 4 by 16 and 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You can divide 16 and 24 by 4 you mean. Yes true.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's what I meant :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So 16 becomes 4 and 24 becomes 6.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK

2/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well actually, if you divide 4/6 by the next like term they have (2), It reduces to 2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NO wait 2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok. Good.
