3/8 * 1/4 is 8/15. You just have to reduce it.

Was this problem given to you expressed in words? If not, I strongly suggest you present the problem as a drawing (use the Draw utility, below) or type it in Equation Editor. Aotherwise, there's ambiguity.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

I need this one to be answered because @sbuck98 made me get it wrong so many times

OpenStudy (mathmale):

In other words, what you have written could be interpreted in different ways. Kindly stop pointing fingers. In the end it is you who are responsible for the answers. Please consider my advice: Draw the problem in the Draw utility.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

ok

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I explained the process to you, never one did I tell you a answer. You take the fraction 8/9, subtract it from 5/6.... get a answer... Then multiply that answer by 1/3.. Your errors have nothing to do with me because, you don't want to work out the problem, you just simply want the answer and that in fact is against code of conduct.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Was the problem presented in words, as "8/9 subtract 5/6 times 1/3?" If not, please draw the problem statement using the Draw utility.

OpenStudy (nerdsarecool):

Now that is
