Question

What is the value of the product of -20/48 times 6 in simplified form

Answer 1

-20/48 x 6 =
`(-20)/(48)` x
`(6)/(1)`

I would cancel out the 6 in the numerator and the 48 in the denominator
Now I have
`(-20)/(8)` or
`(-5)/(2)` reduced.

-5 ÷ 2 = -2 1/2 and that is the answer in simplest form
