Maths Problem (1 Viewer)

[Ajihood]

This problem was proposed to me by my physics teacher and i was wondering if anyone could give me some help. It should be easy he said, as im in Maths Accelration and but i cant get it. I just do it.

'Why do you have to multiply the denominator when multiplying fractions:

1/n*1/m
​

Does this mean the same as: find the nth of 1/m?"

I think this has to do something with a circle but i just cant think of anything.

Thanks for any help.

Hey, I'm one of Mr. P's Year 12 Physics students and we were asked the same question.
He just likes testing us out.
I have no idea either.

Thats looks right, because he put up a Mercedes Benz symbol with the question. Hmm now to express it in terms of nth of 1/m etc
