Question 775124
What are the steps to find the answer to 2 (5/8) x (4/7) x 12
------------
Step 1, don't use x for multiply.  Use * (Shift 8).
2 (5/8) x (4/7) x 12
----------
Change to "improper" fractions.
Mixed numbers are useless.
2 (5/8) * (4/7) * 12
= (21/8)*(4/7)*(12/1)
Multiply all the numerators and all the denominators.
= {{{(21*4*12)/(8*7*1)}}}
= {{{1008/56}}}
That can be reduced.
= {{{144/8}}}
= 18
