@northstar15 okay please answer quickly this is for my homework. If the fractions doesnt have any numbers that can both be divided by the same number do i still flip the second fration even if the reciprical doesnt have any common fractors. For example 2/5 x 3/7 even though theres no common factors either way do i still flip the 2nd fraction???

[northstar15]

@74657465ad ou do not flip the second fraction unless the problem is division of fractions. So in your problem here, just multiply across...

Don't you keep the dinomanater the same and only multiply the numerator
