Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean multiply?

- 8/15 * 20/24

- 8/15 * 5/6

5 and 15 have a common divisor -- 5

- 8/3 * 1 / 6

8 and 6 can be divided by 2.

-4/3 * 1/3

-4 / 9

You could do the same thing without cancellation.

-8/15 * 20/24 = -160 / 360    

Now you can divide by common factors. Start by dividing top and bottom by 10

- 16 / 36            Now divide top and bottom by 4

- 4 / 9
