Knowledge of operations on fractions and confidence with word problems are encouraged to ensure success on this exercise.
 * 1) When there are two fractions, the multiple that changes one numerator into the other numerator (or denominator) is regularly the answer.
 * 2) The answers come out to be integers in general, so a fraction answer should be double-checked.
 * 3) Cutting objects up into pieces always divides by the size of the pieces.

Real-life Applications
