A little help with this fraction Please!

[lookagain]

25/21 = 1 4/21

Check to see with your instructor and/or textbook if you should just leave it as the 25/21 form.

5/6 /1 5/6*1 = 5/6

You have got to be kidding if you think this makes sense. I've been following the conversation and I still can't figure it out.

Use parenthesis!

No, please no parenthesis. I got dizzy enough looking at it without parenthesis and I can only imagine what it would look like with them.

2/3 + 1/6 In the numerator position
______________________________________ Fraction Line and then multiply by 1/7
1/5 - 1/10 In the denominator position

The fraction looks like this
2/3 + 1/6
__________________ X (multiply) 1/7
1/5 - 1/10
OK so is this final answer correct......
2/3 + 1/6
Over ______________________ (times 1/7)
1-5 - 1/10

5/6 / 1/10 Times (x) 1/7
25/3 (1/7) = 25/21 which reduces to 1 4/21
