Do you want straight answers? Or how to solve?

2. anonymous

how to solve

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

6. anonymous

See...

42/ 20 then i simplify it?

8. anonymous

Yes.

9. anonymous

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

10. anonymous

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

11. anonymous

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

12. anonymous

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. anonymous

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

14. anonymous

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

15. anonymous

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

16. anonymous

Ooh....cool...Thanks!

17. anonymous

Indeed. Sadly, hardly anyone knows LaTeX these days!

18. anonymous

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!!

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

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

21. anonymous

I learnt it when I was 16 ^_^ Badass

22. anonymous

Yes you are....

23. anonymous

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

26. anonymous

Whooppeeeee!

27. anonymous

Cool!

28. anonymous

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

29. anonymous

Thanks, guys. I'm a fan!

30. anonymous

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

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