Answer 1

1) Multiply:

1/5 * 3/4 = 3/20

2) Multiply as I showed you above.

3) Divide:

60/(3/4) = 60 * (4/3) = ?

Answer 2

that would equal 45?

Answer 3

but why would you multiply and then divide?

Answer 4

I mean 80 not 45

Answer 5

No. The answer to number 3 is not 45. Multiply (60/1) * (4/3).

When we divide fractions, the divisor must be inverted and then multiplied.
