Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: As determined in the previous problem, the product of 8/9 and 19/3 is 152/27. Multiplying this by 2 gives us (152/27) * 2 = (152 * 2) / 27 = 304/27.
### Answer: 304/27 

Expected answer: 304/27

Correct? Yes

Problem: Imagine you made an error in the original multiplication calculation where you incorrectly used 8/9 instead of the correct fraction 8/15. Can you correct this mistake and find the new product if you multiply 8/15 by 19/3? Please provide your answer as a simplified fraction.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Multiplying the numerators and the denominators, (8/15) * (19/3) = (8 * 19) / (15 * 3) = 152/45. 
### Answer: 152/45 

Expected answer: 152/45

Correct? Yes

Problem: Suppose Julian is considering replacing the rope sections with new ones. Each new section is 17/2 feet long and he is still able to use only 5/7 of each section. How many feet are in the usable part of each new section of rope? Calculate this by multiplying 17/2 by 5/7.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: To find the length of the usable part of the new rope, multiply the total length of each new section by the fraction that is usable. This is equivalent to (17/2) * (5/7) = (17*5)/(2*7) = 85/14 feet.
### Answer: 85/14 feet. 

Expected answer: 85/14

Correct? Yes

Problem: If you take the product of 12 and 1, and then multiply that result by the fraction 7/16, what would be the final result? Write your answer as a simplified fraction or a whole number, if possible.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The previous answer is 14/5.  Multiplying that by 12/14, we get (14/5) * (12/14) 
We can simplify by canceling out the 14 in the numerator and denominator: (14/5) * (12/14) = 12/5.

### Answer: 12/5

Expected answer: 12/5

Correct? Yes

Problem: After finding the solution to the previous problem where you multiplied 14 / 15 * 12 / 4, let's change the scenario slightly. Suppose instead of having 15 parts of a whole, you only had 5 parts to begin with, making the original fraction 14 / 5 before multiplying by 12 / 4. How does this affect the final outcome? Calculate 14 / 5 * 12 / 4 and provide your answer as a simplified fraction or a whole number, if possible.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  Just like before, we multiply the numerators and the denominators: (14 * 12) / (5 * 4) = 168/20.

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4: (168/4)/(20/4) = 42/5

### Answer: 42/5 

Expected answer: 42/5

Correct? Yes

Problem: After finding the result of the previous calculation, which was 16 * (12 / 19), now calculate the result of multiplying that previous outcome by the fraction 10 / 16.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The previous result was 192/19, so we multiply this by 10/16.
This gives us (192/19) * (10/16)
We can simplify this calculation by canceling out a common factor of 16 in the numerator and denominator: (192/19) * (10/16) = (12/19) * (10/1) = (12 * 10) / (19 * 1) = 120/19
### Answer: 120/19

Expected answer: 120/19

Correct? Yes

Problem: After you found the result of the previous calculation, which was 16 * (12 / 19), consider the scenario where initially, the fraction was not 12 / 19 but 14 / 19. Now, re-calculate the result of the operation using the new fraction: 16 * (14 / 19).

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We can re-write the division problem as a fraction: 16 * (14/19) = 16 * 14/19
We multiply the integer 16 by the numerator: (16 * 14)/19 = 224/19
The result of the calculation is 224/19, which is approximately equal to 11.79 when rounded to two decimal places. 
### Answer: 224/19 

Expected answer: 224/19

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the continuation of the previous situation, Julia decided to sell 7/14, or half, of all the bushels of apples she had. How many bushels of apples did Julia sell?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Julia sold 7/14 * 8 = <<7/14*8=4>> 4 bushels of apples. 
### Answer: 4 

Expected answer: 4

Correct? Yes

Problem: In continuation to the previous scenario, suppose Julia initially had 6 boxes instead of 11. How many bushels of apples would she have if she still fills 8/11 of each box with apples?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Julia can fill 8/11 * 6 = <<8*6=48; 48/11=4.36>>4.36 boxes with apples.
Since a box cannot be partially filled with bushels, Julia filled 4 boxes completely.
Therefore, she used 4 * 1 = <<4*1=4>>4 bushels of apples.
### Answer: 4

Expected answer: 48/11

Correct? No

Problem: The baker adjusted his cake recipe slightly and now it requires 7/4 cups of sugar instead of 9/4 cups. However, the recipe for the cookies remains the same. How much total sugar does he now need for the cake and cookies, if he uses the same amount for both? Calculate by multiplying the two given fractions.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: The baker needs 7/4 * 16/15 = 112/60 cups of sugar in total.
We can simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, 4. This gives us 28/15.
To represent it as a mixed number, we divide 28 by 15, resulting in 1 with a remainder of 13. 
### Answer: 1 13/15 

Expected answer: 28/15

Correct? Yes

Problem: In a new experiment, Peter decides to change his recipe slightly. Instead of using 19/9 cups of flour, he now uses 14/9 cups of flour but keeps the amount of sugar the same (14/18 cups). How would this affect the overall amount of ingredients used for his pizza dough? Multiply the new amount of flour and the original amount of sugar together to find the new total.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, we simplify the fraction representing the amount of sugar, 14/18, to 7/9.
Then, we multiply the numerators and the denominators of our two fractions: (14 * 7) / (9 * 9) = 98/81. 
Therefore, the overall amount of ingredients in the new recipe is 98/81 cups. 
### Answer: 98/81 cups

Expected answer: 98/81

Correct? Yes

Problem: Continuing from our previous problem, instead of multiplying 14/7 and 16/4, let's consider we have 14/7 and 13/4. What is the result when you multiply these two fractions?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: (14/7) * (13/4) = (14 * 13) / (7 * 4) = 182 / 28 = 13/2
### Answer: 13/2

Expected answer: 13/2

Correct? Yes

Problem: After calculating the result of (17 / 18) multiplied by (13 / 8), multiply the answer you got by itself. Write the final result as a simplified fraction.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

We previously established that (17/18) * (13/8) = 221/144.

Now, we need to multiply 221/144 by itself:

(221/144) * (221/144) = (221 * 221) / (144 * 144)

Calculating the products:

(221 * 221) / (144 * 144) = 48841 / 20736

The fraction 48841/20736 cannot be simplified further.

### Answer: 48841/20736

Expected answer: 48841/20736

Problem: For this next question, let's slightly adjust our variables. Instead of doing (15 / 15) * 18 as in the previous problem, let's try (15 / 16) * 18. What's the result of this multiplication?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 
We can solve this by first performing the division and then the multiplication:

15 / 16 = 0.9375

Then, we multiply this result by 18:

0.9375 * 18 = 16.875

### Answer: 16.875

Expected answer: 135/8

Correct? Yes

Problem: Sophie initially thought she had 9 pounds of apples, but upon rechecking, she found she actually had 18 pounds. Sophie still decided to make pies for the community gathering, with each pie requiring 1/14 of the total amount of apples. If Sophie still made 7 pies just like before, calculate how many pounds of apples she used this time. Solve the problem using the multiplication of the fraction and the whole number ((18 / 14) * 7). Write your answer as a simplified fraction or a whole number.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to multiply the fraction representing the amount of apples per pie (1/14 of the total) by the total number of pies Sophie made (7) to determine the total amount of apples used.

Calculation: (18/14) * 7 = (18 * 7)/14 = 126/14 = 9

### Answer: 9 

Expected answer: 9

Correct? Yes

Problem: John initially bought 2 boxes of cookies with 6/8 of a dozen cookies in each box. However, instead of 2 boxes, suppose that John decided to buy 7 identical boxes. How many dozens of cookies would he have in total?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First find how many dozens of cookies are in 7 boxes: (6/8) * 7 = 42/8
Then simplify the fraction: 42/8 = 5 2/8 = 5 1/4
### Answer: 5 1/4

Expected answer: 21/4

Correct? Yes

Problem: Use the answer you obtained from the previous word problem as a fraction, multiply it by itself, and write the resulting answer as a simplified fraction.

### Answer: 16 

Expected answer: 16

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following up on the previous question, after you have found the product of 18 and 1/11, now multiply that result by 7. What is the final output? Please provide your answer as a decimal or a simplified fraction.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We know from before that 18 * (1/11) = 18/11. Now we need to multiply this result by 7:

(18/11) * 7 = (18 * 7) / 11 = 126/11

This fraction cannot be simplified further, but it can be expressed as a mixed number or a decimal:

- Mixed number: 126/11 = 11 5/11 
- Decimal: 126/11 ≈ 11.4545... where "45" repeats, represented as 11.overline{45}

### Answer:  $11\frac{5}{11}$ or $11.\overline{45}$

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We know from the previous problem that e = (18/12) * 6 = 9.
Now, multiply e by 9/15: 9 * (9/15) = 81/15.
Simplifying the fraction, we get: 81/15 = 27/5 
### Answer: 27/5 

Expected answer: 27/5

Correct? Yes

Problem: After completing the first calculation, let's modify it a bit. Originally we had (18 / 12) * 6. Now let's change the dividend to 10, keeping the divisor and the multiplier the same. So we have (10 / 12) * 6. Calculate the result and write your answer as a simplified fraction or a whole number.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, simplify the fraction 10/12 to 5/6.
Then, multiply the simplified fraction by 6: (5/6) * 6 = 5
### Answer: 5 

Expected answer: 5

Correct? Yes

Problem: In light of the previous scenario, suppose Mathew decides to modify the length of the blocks he is using. Instead of each block being 16/18th of a foot long, he thinks having each block as 18/18th (a full foot) long would make his craft project more appealing. If he still needs 16/7th of a foot long blocks for his project, how long in feet would the blocks be in total this time?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We can simplify 18/18 to 1. So now we need to figure out what 16/7 * 1 equals. Any number multiplied by 1 is itself. 
Therefore, the total length of the blocks is 16/7 feet.
We can express this improper fraction as a mixed number. 7 goes into 16 twice with a remainder of 2. 
### Answer: 2 2/7 feet 

Expected answer: 16/7

Correct? Yes

Problem: After you've calculated the result of 8/8 multiplied by 15, what do you get if you further multiple that result by 19/18?

Problem: Now, let's say that Michael tasted the juice made with the adjusted recipe and found it too concentrated for his liking. He decides to dilute the juice by adding water, making the juice only 7/13 as concentrated as before. In comparison to the old undiluted recipe, how much of the new grape juice should he use now, if he calculates it as (7/13) * the previous fraction ((12/16) * (15/6))?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to calculate (7/13)*(12/16)*(15/6). We can simplify this calculation by canceling common factors in the numerator and denominator: (7/13)*(12/16)*(15/6) = (7*1*3)/(13*4*1) = 63/52
### Answer: 63/52 

Expected answer: 105/104

Correct? No

Problem: Let's tweak the scenario again. This time, Michael found an even more concentrated grape juice. This new variant is 15/2 times as strong as the juice he originally used. Now, how much of this new juice should he use for 12 servings instead of 16, in comparison to the old recipe? So, he calculates it as (12/16) * (15/2).

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to calculate (12/16)*(15/2). We can simplify by canceling common factors in the numerator and denominator: (12/16)*(15/2) = (3*1)/(4*1) * (15*1)/(2*1) = 45/8
### Answer: 45/8

### Answer: 1 pound. 

Expected answer: 1

Correct? Yes

Problem: Julia’s sister also wants to bake a cake, but she's adapting a different recipe that requires 12 cups of flour. However, she only intends to make 9/13 of the recipe. How much flour does Julia's sister need for the portion of the recipe she is making?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Julia's sister needs 12 x 9/13 = <<12*(9/13)=108/13>>108/13 cups of flour.
### Answer: 108/13 cups 

Expected answer: 108/13

Correct? Yes

Problem: After calculating the previous expression, which was 9 * (20/11), take your result and then multiply it by 4/5. What is the final result? Write your answer in the simplified form.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

The previous result was 16 4/11. Now we need to multiply this by 4/5.

First, convert the mixed number to a fraction: 16 4/11 = (16*11 + 4)/11 = 180/11

Now multiply: (180/11) * (4/5) = (180 * 4) / (11 * 5) = 720 / 55

Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 5: 720/55 = 144/11

Finally, convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number: 144/11 = 13 1/11

### Answer: 13 1/11

Expected answer: 144/11

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the previous problem, you calculated 9 * (20/11). But what if instead of multiplying by 20/11, you multiply by 7/11? Recalculate the expression now being 9 * (7/11). What is the new result? Write your answer in the simplified form.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Multiplying a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole number by the numerator and keep the same denominator:  9 * (7/11) = (9*7)/11 = 63/11.

Now we simplify this improper fraction by finding the largest multiple of 11 that is less than 63, which is 55 (5*11=55). Therefore, 63/11 can be expressed as 5 with a remainder of 8, or the mixed number 5 8/11. 

### Answer: 5 8/11

Expected answer: 63/11

Correct? Yes

Problem: After solving the previous problem, what if instead of dividing 20 by 5, you divided 16 by 5 and kept the rest of the problem the same, where the result is then multiplied by 6/10? Calculate this new problem and provide your answer.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 16 divided by 5 is 3.2 (16 / 5 = 3.2).
Multiplying 3.2 by 6/10, which is the same as .6, gives us 1.92 (3.2 * .6 = 1.92).
### Answer: 1.92 

Expected answer: 48/25

Next, we can think of 14/14 as 1.  Multiplying any number by 1 gives us the same number.
Therefore,  (5 5/12) * (14/14) = 5 5/12
### Answer: 5 5/12 

Expected answer: 65/12

Correct? Yes

Problem: Continuing from the first problem, suppose we used 5 * (13 / 10) instead of 5 * (13 / 12). Calculate the new problem and give your answer in the form of a mixed number or fraction where necessary. What happens to the result when we use 13 / 10 instead of 13 / 12 in the problem?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Let's calculate the new problem: 5 * (13/10) = 65/10.
We can simplify 65/10 to 13/2.
Converting to a mixed number: 13/2 = 6 1/2.

Comparing the two results: 
* Using 13/12: 5 * (13/12) = 5 5/12
* Using 13/10: 5 * (13/10) = 6 1/2

When we use 13/10 instead of 13/12, the result is larger. This is because 13/10 is a larger number than 13/12. 
### Answer: 6 1/2 

Expected answer: 13/2

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following the previous scenario, Jack found an even bigger bar of chocolate that had 17 pieces in total. If he ate the same amount (3/4) of this bar as he did with the previous one, how many pieces of the new chocolate bar did he eat?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We need to find what 3/4 of 17 pieces is. We can do this by multiplying 17 by 3/4:  17 * (3/4) = 51/4. 
Let's convert the fraction to a mixed number to better visualize it: 51/4 equals 12 and 3/4.
Since Jack can't eat parts of pieces, he ate 12 full pieces. 
### Answer: 12 pieces 

Expected answer: 51/4

Correct? No

Problem: Reconsider the previous problem, but this time replace 9/18 by 13/18. So, now calculate the product of 17 and 13/18 without simplifying the fraction. What is the result now?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Multiplying a number by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the numerator and then dividing by the denominator.  Therefore, we get: 
17 * 13/18 = (17 * 13) / 18 = 221/18
### Answer: 221/18 

Expected answer: 221/18

Multiplying a whole number by a fraction is the same as multiplying the whole number by the numerator and then dividing by the denominator: 19 * 6 / 10 = 114 / 10.
Simplifying the fraction 114/10, we get 57/5.

### Answer: 57/5 

Expected answer: 57/5

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following your previous calculation, reconsider the problem assuming the whole number you previously used was 20 instead of 19. Calculate the result of multiplying the fraction 15/15 by this new whole number. Write down the result as a simplified fraction or a whole number, as appropriate.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: As before, the fraction 15/15 simplifies to 1. Multiplying any number by 1 results in that same number. Therefore, 15/15 * 20 is equivalent to 1 * 20, which equals 20.
### Answer: 20 

Expected answer: 20

Problem: Following the previous problem, Emily notices she has been overspending and decides to decrease her spendings on Tuesday by 4 times less than she had spent on Tuesday. How much of her weekly allowance does she plan on spending for the upcoming Tuesday? Calculate by multiplying ((10 / 19) * (14 / 7)) by 4.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We first need to calculate how much Emily spent on Tuesday, which is (10/19) * (14/7) = 20/19 of her allowance. 
Decreasing her spending by 4 times less than (20/19) means she wants to spend (20/19)/4 on the upcoming Tuesday.
This calculation becomes (20/19)*(1/4) = 5/19.
### Answer: 5/19 

Expected answer: 80/19

Correct? No

Problem: After her initial plan, Emily decides to modify her strategy for spending her actions on Tuesdays. She changes her spending to 10/12th of her weekly allowance, but still spends 14/7 times more than the new amount. What fraction of her weekly allowance does she now plan on spending? Calculate: (10 / 12) * (14 / 7)

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We need to multiply her new Tuesday spending (10/12) by 14/7 to find her adjusted spending fraction.
This simplifies to (10/12) * 2 = 20/12. This fraction can be further simplified to 5/3.
### Answer: 5/3

Reasoning: We previously calculated that 5 * (14 / 10) = 7.  Now we multiply this result by 5/6:  7 * (5/6) can be written as (7/1) * (5/6). Multiplying the numerators gives us 7 * 5 = 35, and multiplying the denominators gives us 1 * 6 = 6. The resulting fraction is 35/6. 
### Answer: 35/6 

Expected answer: 35/6

Correct? Yes

Problem: After initially calculating the result of 5 * (14 / 10), consider a different scenario where you have to calculate 5 * (14 / 13) instead. What would the result be in this case?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Since 14 and 13 share no common factors other than 1, the fraction 14/13 cannot be simplified. Therefore, we multiply 5 * (14/13) which can be expressed as (5/1)*(14/13). Multiplying the numerators, we get 5*14 = 70. Multiplying the denominators, we get 1*13 = 13. This gives us the fraction 70/13.
### Answer: 70/13 

Expected answer: 70/13

Correct? Yes

Problem: After finding the result of multiplying 6 by the fraction (20/7), what would you get if you multiply this result by (10/10)? Write your answer as a mixed number, if applicable.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  Multiplying any number by 10/10 is the same as multiplying by 1, which means the number will remain the same.  Therefore, multiplying the result of 6 * (20/7), which is 17 1/7, by (10/10) will still result in 17 1/7. 

### Answer: 17 1/7 

Expected answer: 120/7

Correct? Yes

Problem: After finding the result of multiplying 5/8 by 3, what would be the result if instead of multiplying (20/7) by 6, you multiplied (20/10) by 6? Write your answer as a mixed number, if applicable.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Multiplying (20/10) by 6, we get (20*6)/10 = 120/10. 
Simplifying 120/10, we get 12. 
### Answer: 12

Problem: After finding the result of multiplying 8 by 1/1 in the previous problem, what would be the result if you were originally working with 20 instead of 8? In other words, what would be the outcome of multiplying 20 by 1/1?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  Similar to the previous problem, any number multiplied by 1, even in the form of a fraction like 1/1, will remain the same.
Therefore, 20 multiplied by 1/1 is still 20.
### Answer: 20

Expected answer: 20

Correct? Yes

Problem: Now suppose that Jack realized he measured the initial sheet of paper incorrectly. Instead of being 5/15 meters long, it was actually 5/20 meters long. If he still decides to cut 9 identical pieces from this correctly measured sheet, how long would the total length of all the 9 pieces again be? Calculate the answer and write it as a fraction or a whole number.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  The total length of all 9 pieces is 9 times the length of one piece.
Therefore, the total length is 9*(5/20) = (9*5)/20 = 45/20 = 9/4 meters.
### Answer: 9/4 

Expected answer: 9/4

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the previous problem, the total length of the shelf was found to be 13 feet. Now, suppose that only 12/15 of that shelf is filled with books. What would be the length of the shelf that is filled with books? To find out, multiply the total length of the shelf by 12/15.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  We multiply the total length of the shelf by the fraction representing the filled portion: 13 feet * (12/15) = 10.4 feet.
### Answer: 10.4 feet.

Problem: After finding the result of multiplying thirteen by the ratio of two to two, now calculate the result of multiplying this outcome by the fraction eight fourteenths. What is the final result?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  As determined in the previous problem, thirteen multiplied by the ratio of two to two is simply 13.  Multiplying 13 by the fraction eight fourteenths (8/14) gives us (13/1)*(8/14) = 104/14. This fraction can be simplified to 52/7.
### Answer: 52/7 

Expected answer: 52/7

Correct? Yes

Problem: Recalculate the previous problem, however, instead of using 17/6, use 20/6. The new problem should be 20/6 * 6/4. Find the result and write it in its simplest form.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 20/6 * 6/4 = (20*6)/(6*4) = 120/24 = 5
### Answer: 5

Expected answer: 5

Correct? Yes

Problem: Your pet dog, Bear, can chase and bring back the ball twice every minute during your playtime. After playing for 6 minutes, how many times did Bear bring the ball back? This can be represented by 2*6. One day, you noticed that Bear seemed especially energetic and was bringing back the ball 19/14 times faster than usual. Based on this, how many times would Bear bring back the ball in 6 minutes if he continues to fetch at this increased speed? This can be represented by (19/14) * (2*6). Calculate and write your answer as a simplified fraction.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Bear usually brings the ball back 2 * 6 = <<2*6=12>> 12 times in 6 minutes. 
If Bear fetches the ball 19/14 times faster, he would bring the ball back (19/14) * 12 = <<(19/14)*12=228/14=114/7>> 114/7 times in 6 minutes.
### Answer: 114/7 

Expected answer: 114/7

Correct? Yes

Problem: The previous problem was about Bear bringing back the ball twice every minute while playing for 6 minutes. Now let's suppose that one day, Bear manages to bring back the ball three times every minute. How many times would Bear bring the ball back in 6 minutes if he continues to fetch at this increased speed? This can be represented by 3 * 6. Calculate the product.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  If Bear brings the ball back 3 times each minute, over 6 minutes he would bring it back a total of 3 * 6 = 18 times. 
### Answer: 18

Expected answer: 18

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following up on the previous problem, now multiply your result by (7 / 2). What is the value of 'a'?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We previously found that (2/20) * 14 is equal to 7/5. Now we multiply that result by (7/2): (7/5) * (7/2) = (7*7)/(5*2) = 49/10.  Let's call this result 'a', so a = 49/10.

### Answer: a = 49/10 

Expected answer: 49/10

Correct? Yes

Problem: In our previous problem, we calculated the result of (2 / 20) * 14. Now, let's change 2/20 to 2/12 and keep the 14 constant. Recalculate the problem with this change in initial fraction -- what is the new result?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: First, simplify the fraction 2/12 by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, 2: (2/2) / (12/2) = 1/6. 
Now, multiply the simplified fraction by 14: (1/6) * 14 = 14/6.
Finally, simplify the resulting fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2: (14/2) / (6/2) = 7/3. 

### Answer: 7/3

Expected answer: 7/3

Correct? Yes

Problem: After finding the result of 5/14 multiplied by 18, now multiply this result by 9/7. What would you get?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We found that (5/14)*18 = 45/7.  Multiplying this result by 9/7 gives (45/7)*(9/7) = (45*9)/(7*7), which simplifies to 405/49.
### Answer: 405/49

Expected answer: 405/49

Correct? Yes

Problem: If instead of 18, we had 17 wholes, what would be the result of multiplying 5/14 of a whole by 17?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Multiplying by 17 is the same as multiplying by (17/1).  Therefore we obtain (5/14)*(17/1) = (5*17)/(14*1).  This simplifies to 85/14. 
### Answer: 85/14 

Expected answer: 85/14

Correct? Yes

Problem: After calculating (11 / 8) * 5 in the previous problem, continue by multiplying this result by 1/5. What is the final answer?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: We previously determined that (11/8)*5 = 55/8.  Multiplying this result by 1/5 gives us:
(55/8)*(1/5) = (55*1)/(8*5).
We can simplify this by recognizing that both the numerator and denominator share a common factor of 5 and can be reduced: (55*1)/(8*5) = (11*1)/(8*1) = 11/8
### Answer: 11/8 

Expected answer: 11/8

Correct? Yes

Problem: After calculating (11 / 8) * 5 in the previous problem, now consider the problem where instead of multiplying by 5, you multiply by 9. What happens when you calculate (11 / 8) * 9?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  Like before, we multiply the integer by the numerator and divide by the denominator: (11/8)*9 = (11*9)/8 = 99/8. 

### Answer: 99/8 

Expected answer: 99/8

Correct? Yes
