Question

How do you evaluate `\frac{13}{15}\times 60`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, rewrite the expression as:

`13/15 xx 60/1 =>`

`13/15 xx (15 xx 4)/1`

Next, cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator:

`13/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(15))) xx (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(15))) xx 4)/1 =>`

`13/1 xx 4/1 =>`

`13 xx 4 =>`

`52`
