Nice work..but try to guide him to the answer..don't give it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find a common denominator between the two, then you follow the operations as followed. Then flip the second fraction, that which being 8/15. So for example 45 is the common denominator. You'll have 25/45 and 24/ 45, then you'd do 25/45 * 45/25 Or just flip the second one from the start and multiply.

OpenStudy (shaadykhamlichi):

No, that's right. It's just an unsimplified version.
