OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Jhannybean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i got 1,309/60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u cant reduce 1,309/60 so thats my answer

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\checkmark\]

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

lcm=60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when i WRITE IT FOR ANSWER IT SAYS ITS WRONG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should I flip the numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 60 on top and bottom is 1,309

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Is your answer written as a mixed number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it wants me to write my answer as a proper fraction and or a mixed number, so how do I do that?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

In my knowledge you only find an LCD when you are adding or subtracting fractions that do not have the same denominator.

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

first you need to find the improper fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the following product, leaving your answer as a proper fraction or as a mixed number.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

But let's see, \[\frac{1309}{60}\] How many times can 60 divide into 1309?

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps: Divide the numerator by the denominator. Write down the whole number answer. Then write down any remainder above the denominator.

OpenStudy (funnyguy2):

then simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya i got 21.816

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Good, that's decimal form,but we are looking for mixed fraction form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer was 21 49/60 im just trying to figure out where the 49 came from
