Answer 3

try multiplying the denominator and the numerator by a number until it has the same multiple as the other denominator

Answer 4

like this\[\frac{ 3 }{ 8 }*\frac{ 3 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 9 }{ 24 }\]

the denominators of the 2 fractions 8 and 3 are multiples of 24

Answer 5

so multiply 2/3 by some multiple of 28.\[\frac{ 2 }{3 }*\frac{ x }{ x }=\frac{ x }{ 24 }\]

remember, the number you're multiplying by the denominator has to be the same number
to multiply the numerator

Answer 6

(2/3) * (3/8)
=2/8=1/4
