so what do i do when the problem look like 1 6/12* 7 2/46

7. anonymous

what do you think? what have i been doing? just do exactly the same thing

8. anonymous

change it to improper form and multiply and then simplify

9. anonymous

ok thanks but please dont get upset i m only n the 5th grade

10. anonymous

i'm not getting upset? oO i'm just saying think about it

11. anonymous

do you know how to get it into improper form?

12. anonymous

i * the bottom number with the whole number then i add the top number once i have done that i do the same with the other side then i * the 2 fractions 2gether right

13. anonymous

yup

14. anonymous

do you want to try it?

15. anonymous

sure give me a problem

16. anonymous

how bout that one that you just gave me 1 6/12* 7 2/46

17. anonymous

ok i got 5832/552

18. anonymous

that's right, but you need to simplify it do you know how?

19. anonymous

trying 2 do that now

20. anonymous

i think i got it 243/23

21. anonymous

and also, those are huge numbers, you can make your life a lot easier if you simplify before you multiply, like this $\frac{18}{12} * \frac{324}{46} = \frac{3}{2}*\frac{162}{23} = \frac{3}{1}*\frac{81}{23} = \frac{243}{23}$ you got it right if you simplify before you multiply, it will be easier to get the answer make sense?

22. anonymous

i got it thank u 4 all the help

23. anonymous

no problem good lucks
