Question

Roxy is multiplying 1/8 by 4/3

Answer 1

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the denominators the same by finding the lcm(least common denominator). The least common demominator would be 24. So multiply both numbers in 1/8 by 3. This would eaqual 3/24. Multiply both numbersin 4/3 by 8. This would equal
`(3)/(24) * (32)/(24)` =
`(96)/(576)`. Simplify 96/576 by dividing both numbers by 96.

96 ÷ 96 = 1 576 ÷ 96 = 6 and that becomes 1/6.
