Let's first find a common denominator. What number do both 8 and 6 go into? Let's use 24.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F8\"$ or $\"15%2F24\"$ of the figures are cranes.
\n" ); document.write( "The remainder is $\"9%2F24\"$ [ $\"24%2F24\"$ - $\"15%2F24\"$ ], reduced to $\"3%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F6\"$ of $\"3%2F8\"$ are frogs. [1/6 of the remainder are frogs.]
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, $\"5%2F6\"$ of the remainder $\"3%2F8\"$ are grasshoppers.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply across - $\"5%2F6\"$ * $\"3%2F8\"$ = $\"15%2F48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Can that be reduced? Yes, 3 goes into both numerator and denominator. $\"5%2F16\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
