The problem is 17/48×8/34×144/6(to divide you invert & multiply.
Break all numbers down to prime factors and cancel out common factors.
Numerator is (17) (2x2x2)(2x2x3x2x2x3)
Denominator is (2x3x2x2x2) (2×17))(2×3)
Cancel common factors. I get an answer of 2.

Be sure to reduce the fractions as much as possible so you are dealing with smaller numbers.
17/48 x 8/34 can be reduced to 1/6 x 1/2
This equals 1/12
When you divide, flip the fraction and multiply.
So 1/12 x 144/6 can be reduced to 1/1 x 12/6 which equals 12/6 or 2.

(17/48)(8/34)/(6/144)
=(17/48)(8/34)(144/6)
keep reducing and you’ll get 2

when multiply you simply multiply the numerator with the numerator and the denominator with the denominator. when you divide all you have to do is flip one of the numbers upside down and then multiply. don’t use others’ answers you won’t learn anything.
