5/6 x 24 =
5/6 x 24/1
Note the use of the trivial '1' to make it 'multiplication of fractions'.
Since '6' & '24' have a common factor of '6' cancel down (reduce) by '6'
Hence
5/1 x 4/1=
20/1
Remove the trivial '1' . hence the answer ids '20'.

What is 3 over 5 in equivalent fractions?
They are: 6/10, 12/20 and 24/40
How do you find three consecutive integers so that twice the first increased by three times the third will be -24?
The three integers, since they are consecutive, can be listed as a, a+1, and a+2. Twice the first is 2a. Three times the third is 3(a+2) = 3a+6. First make a formula of the information given: 2a+(3a+6)= -24 Next, solve the formula: 5a + 6 = -24 Subtract 6 from each side. 5a = -30 Divide each side by 5. a = -6 The three consecutive numbers are -6, -5, and -4.
What is the reduced fraction 24 over 40?
24/40 When reducing a fraction, we look to see if either number has a common factor. Since 24' and '40' are even numbers ( end 4 & 0) the will reduce by '2' Hence 24/40 = 12 /20 Similarly for '12' & '20' it will reduce by '2' 12/20 = 6/10 Similarly for '6' & '10' . it will reduce by '2' 6/10 = 3/5 This will not reduce any further since '3' & '5' are prime numbers Hence 24/40 = 3/5 However, if you know your multiplication tables, you should see that both '24' & '40' are multiples of '8' and will directly reduce by dividing through by '8'.
