Answer

12\text{12}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. We can simplify the fractions by cross-cancellation before multiplying.

  1. Write the expression.

    128×69×242\frac{12}{8} \times \frac{6}{9} \times \frac{24}{2}
  2. Simplify by cross-cancellation.

    First, simplify 128\frac{12}{8} by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4, resulting in 32\frac{3}{2}.

    32×69×242\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{6}{9} \times \frac{24}{2}

    Next, simplify 69\frac{6}{9} by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3, resulting in 23\frac{2}{3}.

    32×23×242\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{24}{2}

    Now, we can cross-cancel:

    • The 3 in the numerator of the first fraction with the 3 in the denominator of the second fraction.
    • The 2 in the numerator of the second fraction with the 2 in the denominator of the first fraction.
    3÷32÷2×2÷23÷3×242=11×11×242\frac{3^{\div 3}}{2^{\div 2}} \times \frac{2^{\div 2}}{3^{\div 3}} \times \frac{24}{2} = \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{24}{2}

    Finally, simplify 242\frac{24}{2} by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2, resulting in 121\frac{12}{1}.

    11×11×121\frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{12}{1}
  3. Multiply the simplified fractions.

    1×1×121×1×1=121=12\frac{1 \times 1 \times 12}{1 \times 1 \times 1} = \frac{12}{1} = 12

    The final answer is 12\text{12}.
