Steve
starting with 5/6,
multiply both top and bottom by the same number, such as 3:

5/6 = 15/18

Now fill in the other blanks.

Matt

It does not matter!
Pick any number you like. Just be sure to use it both top and bottom.

I know you have trouble with math, but I was hoping you could understand English...
