Hi Sarah;
Do you need another one?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Do you see the two I have boxed? You take them and mutiply them:
1 * 2 = 2 and put that on top:
Follow so far?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Look at the 2 that are now boxed. You multiply them.
4 * 1 = 4
You now add it to the other one that we put on top.
Okay so far?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Hi;
Same thing with the bottom 2 boxes:
2 * 4 = 8
We put that on the bottom.
Still with me?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Hi Sarah;
We can add the 4 and the two on the top.
Now we have to simplify that. Are you okay up to here?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
6 is really 2 * 3 and 8 is 2 * 2 * 2 from the last problem.
We start to cancel.
Everytime we cancel we leave a one in its place.
Okay to here?

Re: How old are you bobbym?
Hi Sarah;
Okay. we are almost done!
The above work can be cleaned or simplified:
1 * 3 = 3 and 1 * 2 * 2 = 4 so
And we are done!
