So what are we trying to find the reduced fraction or inverse operation
The maximum common factor for 18 and 48 is 4.
Hope it helps!
First you would have to turn the mixed number into a improper fraction. to do that you would have to multiply the denominator by the 1 (which is the whole number) to get 3*1=3 then you would have to add the numerator to get 3+2=5. now you have an improper fraction which is now 5/3. you always keep the denominator the same. next you have to multiply the two fractions you now have. which is 5 over 3 and 3 over 4 . all you have to do is multiply across to get 5*3=15 on the top and 3*4=12 on the bottom. so your new fraction you have is 15/12. that's an improper fraction so you would have to divide 12 by 15. you know 12 goes into 15 one time with a remainder of 3. so now you have 1 3/12 as your answer. but your not done yet. now you have to simplify your answer by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 3/3=1 and 12/3=4, you final answer should be 1 1/4 .
