Do you want straight answers? Or how to solve?

2. vane1013

how to solve

5. INewton

$\frac{6}{5}\times\frac{7}{4} = \frac{6 \times 7}{5 \times 4} = ...$

6. *_Artist_*

See...

42/ 20 then i simplify it?

8. INewton

Yes.

9. FF

Better to simplify first, then multiply. I'm new here. I clicked on Equation. How do you do a fraction??

10. *_Artist_*

I usually find it better to solve then simplify. That is what I was wondering...

11. FF

If you simplify first you just have to multiply 3 times 7 over 5 times 2. The numbers are smaller.

12. FF

So how did INewton, how does someone insert a fraction? I clicked on Equation and I didn't see a way to insert a fraction?

13. *_Artist_*

oh...okay..hmm..I'll try that next time.....If anyone knows how to do a fraction, Please tell us! Thanks!:)

14. INewton

It can help to simplify first, but there is really no need here. \frac{}{}

15. polpak

There isn't a way with the editor, you have to type in the latex directly.

16. *_Artist_*

Ooh....cool...Thanks!

17. INewton

Indeed. Sadly, hardly anyone knows LaTeX these days!

18. FF

Ah, I see. I wonder why they didn't do that? Lots of other math stuff, but no fractions? Awkward. You can see like half the message posts have fractions... Thanks!!

19. polpak

Well, you typically learn it when you get to university, and a lot of the posters here are still in grade school.

20. FF

This is a test: \frac{2}{3}

21. INewton

I learnt it when I was 16 ^_^ Badass

22. *_Artist_*

Yes you are....

23. polpak

Not quite. You have to surround it with the \( \ ) or $\ ] (no spaces) 24. polpak Try \[ \frac{3}{4}\ ] but remove the spaces 25. FF This is a test: \[\frac{2}{3}$

26. FF

Whooppeeeee!

27. *_Artist_*

Cool!

28. INewton

One part of LaTeX code down, a million or so more to go :D

29. FF

Thanks, guys. I'm a fan!

30. *_Artist_*

lol. I fanned you FF, and I fanned vane....

31. FF

This is my first visit to OpenStudy. I just jumped in on a random Post. I'm really, really impressed!

$\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{7}$ this is just a test
