here are some mistakes whivh ate done by me and my friends

1) not cancelling the fraction properly

example - 14/16 = 7/2

to avoid this

we need to help them in learning the tables properly with out any confusion

so that they can write 14/16 = 7/8

2) in equalient fractions some may multiply numerator and denominatior with 2 different numbers ,,, this may cause error in solving
