00:33 | . The top number of my fraction . I'll draw | |
00:36 | a line for the separating the top of the bottom | |
00:38 | number . My fresh the first number I did is | |
00:41 | I just multiplied These two numbers together . These three | |
00:44 | in the street . The top left number by the | |
00:46 | bottom , right number here . So three times three | |
00:49 | it's not . Then what I did is with the | |
