Question

simplify the 8/9 ÷ -4/-24​

Answer 1

Answer:

So now that we've converted 24 into a fraction, to work out the answer, we put the fraction 8/9 side by side with our new fraction, 24/1 so that we can multiply those two fractions.

That's right, all you need to do is convert the whole number to a fraction and then multiply the numerators and denominators. Let's take a look:

8 x 24

9 x 1

=

192

9

In this case, our new fraction can actually be simplified down further. To do that, we need to find the greatest common factor of both numbers.

You can use our handy GCF calculator to work this out yourself if you want to. We already did that, and the GCF of 192 and 9 is 3.
