Not sure if you mean this: (5 + 1/2) * (3 + 3/5)\n\nChange 1/2 into 5/10, and 3/5 into 6/10.\nChange 5 into 50/10, and 3 into 30/10.\n\nYou can now see that the number is: (55/10) * (36/10).\n\nTogether: (55*36) / (10*10), resulting in 1980/100\n\nYou can take out 19 times 100 from 1980; so you get 19+80/100\n80/100 is 8/10 is 4/5.\n\nThe answer: 19 4/5

Divide 1 by 2/5 or \n1/(2/5) = 5/2

Multiplying fractions is the same as taking part of the number; for example, if you want half of a half, you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get a quarter.  Now suppose you wanted two thirds of a half.  The first thing you need to know is, what is one third of a half?  So, multiply 1/3 by 1/2 to get 1/6.  But you know you want two of those, so you multiply 1/6 by 2.  So you did:\n\n1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6\n1/6 * 2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)\n\nOr, to put it all in one step:\n2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)

OK, but you really need to learn this because it's going to be on a test and you won't be able to use yahoo answers:\n\nTo solve this, we first replace x with its value:\n\n6 1/5 - 3 1/3\n\nnext, we make this look like the difference of two fractions:\n\n31/5 - 10/3\n\nWe're pretty close, but we need a common demoninator, so we multiply the left side by 3/3 and the right side by 5/5 (see, it's always OK to multiply things by 1):\n\n93/15 - 50/15\n\nThen it's easy:\n(93-50) / 15\n\nor\n\n43/15.\n\nWe can turn this into a whole number plus a fraction by saying\n43/15 = 30/15+13/15\n\n         = 2 + 13/15\n\n      or 2 13/15

7/5.\n\n(2/5)^2 = 4/25, then divide by (1/5) to get 4/5.\n\nAs for the rest, it's (-2) * (-3) / 10 = 6/10 = 3/5.\n\n3/5 + 4/5 = 7/5.

I'll just tell you enough and then you do the rest.\n\nEach of them involves a number which is a mixture of whole number and fraction.  First step is to exress it as an improper fraction, e.g.\n2) 3 5/8 = 24/8 + 5/8\n             = 29/8  \n(simple rule is \n(denominator*whole number + numerator)/denominator)\nLikewise 2 1/2 = 5/2\n\nI expect you can do\n(1/2)*(29/8)*(5/2)\n\n3) Same idea for 4 1/5, only extra thing to know is that to divide by 14 you multiply by 1/14.\n\nCheers

if you are dividing 2/3 by 4/5, then multiply 2/3 times 5/4.  When subracting fractions, you must have a common denominator.  For 1/2 minus 3/4, multiply the 1 and the 2 by the donominator of the other (4, in this case) to get 4/8.  For the 3/4, multiply the 3 and 4 by the 2, to get 6/8.  Now you can subtract: 4/8 - 6/8 = 2/8 , which equals 1/4.

Half of "one and a half" is three-quarters.  Twice "three-quarters" is "one and a half."\n\n... seems to me.

10/(5/3) = (10/1)/(5/3) = (10/1) * (3/5) = (30/5) = 6\n\nThere are 6 (5/3)s in 10

it is 3 5/60. So that is equal to 3 1/12 which is equal to 3.08333333333333333333333333333333333333333................ .

The simplest answer is:\n\nMultiply the numbers on the top. \nThen multiply the numbers on the bottom.\n\n1/3 x 2/5 = 2/15\n\n1 x  2 = 2\n3 x 5 = 15\n\nThese sites should help.
