$\huge \frac{4}{5}\div \frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{3}{2}$ cancel first, multiply last

2. anonymous

oh no

3. anonymous

is it clear how to multiply those two fractions?

4. anonymous

yep

5. anonymous

ok you should get $$\frac{6}{5}$$ when you are done then turn in to a mixed number

6. anonymous

Its my little sisters math problem.

7. anonymous

lol tell her "when in doubt, Charlie out"

Well I wanted to help but... everyone is attacking this question as if it was the last \$1 Ipad for sale on black friday O_O

@satellite73 , I think you mean, "Cross multiply." Not multiply.

10. just_one_last_goodbye

^ actually no its not that Comp

11. just_one_last_goodbye

$\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } * \frac{ 4 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 12 }{ 10 }$

12. anonymous

dude its 1 1/5

13. just_one_last_goodbye

^ now simplify $\frac{ 12 }{ 10 }$

14. anonymous

yes it is $$1\tfrac{1}{5}$$

15. anonymous

@just_one_last_goodbye there is no such mathematical operation as "simplify" @Compassionate there is no such mathematical operation as "cross multiply"

16. Compassionate

Oh, so @e.mccormick was right. You really do hate the term "cross multiply." Thank you for proving that theory.

i don't hate it like i don't hate a unicorn it doesn't exist

18. Compassionate

Cross multiplication confirmed for unicornary
