QUESTION
What is [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] times 8?
ANSWER AND EXPLANATION
You have to find [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] times 8. To get your answer, the first thing you need to do is multiply the numerator(top number) by whatever you have to multiply it by. In this question, you have to multiply it by 8.
The numerator is 7. Multiply it by 8:
[tex]7 \times 8 = 56[/tex]
Now you have to divide the product by the denominator(bottom number), which is 12.
Divide:
[tex]56 \div 12 = 4 \frac{8}{12}[/tex]
Simplify the answer:
[tex]4 \frac{8 \div 4}{12 \div 4} \rightarrow 4 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Your answer is 4 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
