@haleyelizabeth2017
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Start off by dividing both 12 and 32 by 2. What do you get?
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
12 divided by 2 is 6 and 32 divided by 2 is 16 so my answer is 6/16 right cause that is what I put as my answer
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Nope...they can both be divided by 2 still...

hmmm...how many times does 4 go into 17?
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Er...what is 16/4?
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
16/4 is 16 over 4 it is an improper fraction
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
and 4 can go into 17 4 times
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
is that a minus?
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
yes
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
ok thought so then it is 1
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Right. So we are left with \[4 \frac{1}{4}\]Do you understand how I got that?
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
not really

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
kinda though
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Since 4 can go into 17 4 times, that's a whole number. Since it doesn't divide evenly, we have 1 left over (1/4)
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
the 17-16= the 1 and 4 can go into 17 4 times
OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):
ohh
OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):
Yep!
