convert everything to have the same denominator. find a common denominator between 6, 3, and 8. is 24 a common factor? yes! so now we have 20/24, 8/24, 15/24. Now take 8 away from 20 and we get 12/24 * 15/24. I think you can multily this one

OpenStudy (emmamink):

well we get 8/10 as our answer, but we can simplify this even more! Divide by 2 and we get 4/5.

OpenStudy (emmamink):

so 4/5 is our answer!
