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!
