Question statement

Multiply the following fractions using the formula $\dfrac{a}{b}\times\dfrac{c}{d}=\frac{\boxed{a}\times \boxed{c}}{\boxed{b}\times \boxed{d}}=\frac{\boxed{a\times c}}{\boxed{b\times d}}$ .

An example of a correct calculation would be $\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{4}{5}=\frac{\boxed{2}\times\boxed{4}}{\boxed{3}\times\boxed{5}}=\frac{\boxed{8}}{\boxed{15}}$ .

Note the final fraction should be left as it is and should not be entered in lowest form (if this is different).

Give any introductory information the student needs.

a	integer	71

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

{a}{b} $\ \times \$ {c}{d} $\ =\$ Gap 0. $\ \times\$ Gap 1. Gap 2. $\ \times \$ Gap 3. $\ =\$ Gap 4.Gap 5..

Advice

The correct calculation is $\dfrac{\var{a}}{\var{b}}\times\dfrac{\var{c}}{\var{d}}=\frac{\boxed{\var{a}}\times\boxed{\var{c}}}{\boxed{\var{b}}\times\boxed{\var{d}}}=\frac{\boxed{\var{a*c}}}{\boxed{\var{b*d}}}$ .
