Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

Catalan drove 210 miles on her vacation. She drove an average of 1.4 times faster than the second 105 miles of her trip and she
jok3333 [9.3K]
Logan, the way you have phrased this question makes it a bit hard to follow.  I'm going to take the liberty of paraphasing it:

"Catalan drives an average of 1.4 times faster during the first 105 miles of her trip than she does during the second 105 miles."

As we are told, let X represent her speed during the first 105 miles of her trip.  She drives more slowly during the second 105 miles.  Thus, her speed during the 2nd 105 miles is X/1.4.

Remember:  distance = (rate)(time), or time = (distance)(rate)

We need to determine an expression for the time she spends driving.  Let T1 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed X mph and T2 be the time required to drive 105 miles at speed (X/1.4) mph.

What is the total time required to drive these 210 miles?

Total time = (time required to drive 105 miles at X mph) + (time required to drive 105 miles at X/1.4 mph).

This gives you TIME SPENT DRIVING as a function of X, her speed during the first 105 miles of driving.
