Answer 11

so 60/7 thats all you had to say

Answer 12

you got the 60 (for the top). remember the bottom stays 7

Answer 13

is the answer 24 and 1/5

Answer 14

now multiply two fractions
\[ \frac{17}{6} \cdot \frac{60}{7} \]
when multiplying it's always better to simplify first if yo can
notice you have 60 up top and 6 below. 6 divides into 60 evenly
you get
\[ \frac{17}{1}\cdot \frac{10}{7} \]

Answer 15

now multiply top times top and bottom times bottom
\[ \frac{170}{7} \]
now change back to a mixed number.

Answer 16

divide 7 into 170. how many times does 7 go into 170? and what is the remainder?
