answer 2/15
when we are multiplying fractions we just multiply straight across with the numerators and the denominators
2 x 4 = 8
10 x 6 = 60
both numbers are even and can their Greatest Common Factor (GCF) if 4. This means we can divide both numbers by 4 to get our fraction in its simplest form.

the nearest hole number is the ones place; which is the first place value to the left of the decimal. the 8 in the tenths place tells the 9 in the ones place to go up. We then have to carry that over into the tens place.
What is
4/3 + 5/6 simplify if needed
answer... 13/6
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for the denominators is 6.
In order to convert the first fraction we must multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.
This turns the first fraction into 8/6 and now we can add the numerators. 13/6 is in its simplest form.
