Question 486953
How many thirds are in {{{5}}}?
There are {{{ 3*5 = 15}}} thirds in {{{5}}}
So, in 5 1/3, there are {{{ 15 + 1 = 16 }}} thirds
--------------
How many eighths are in {{{4}}}?
There are {{{ 8*4 = 32 }}} eighths in {{{4}}}
So, in 4 3/8, there are {{{ 32 + 3 = 35 }}} eighths
--------------
The numbers I need to multiply are now
{{{ 16/3 }}} and {{{ 35/8 }}}, so
{{{ (16/3)*(35/8) = (16*35) / (3*8) }}}
Divide top and bottom by {{{8}}}
{{{ (2*35)/3 = 70/3}}}
