  • @Stakkarskatt The way it was done in the video is correct. Neither 6 nor 1/2 is a variable, so they can be written 6 1/2 and still be a single number. This number IS equal to 6.5, because .5 is 1/2 of 1. You don't multiply the 6 and the 1/2 together, you are adding them to get their true value in an improper fraction. This value MUST be equal to what you had before, so multiplying them makes no sense.

  • @DoitiEtok Sorry, but you are wrong. IF the number was 6.5 you would be right, but this problem is notated in a way were you have to see it as 6/1*1/2 * 4/1*1/3.

    There´s nothing wrong with mine or your solutions, it´s just that we have solved two different problems.

  • @Stakkarskatt You're not only teaching it the wrong way, but you're ignoring the lesson AND teaching it the wrong way. The number is 6 1/2 or 6.5. 6.5 in an improper fraction would be 13/2. You multiply the whole number you are adding to the fraction by the denominator. You add this number to the numerator and keep the denominator. This will give you your new number, or 6 * 2 = 12. 12 + 1 = 13. So it is equal to 13/2.
