Gordon R Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Posed the question at work today. Someone immediately said 7/8 which was my off the cuff stupid guess. Five minutes later 1 out of 6 got it (almost)- he said 42/64. It's so easy - you just multiply the top row and then the bottom. Forgotton how to do it over the years. Not much call for fractions.
