Notes
M1: for both fractions written as improper fractions
M1: for multiplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators
or
cancelling the fractions fully
or
cancelling fractions partially and multiplying across
A1: completion to given result. dep on M2
If a student shows clearly in their working that \(3\dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{15}{4}\) they only need to show that the LHS comes to \(\dfrac{15}{4}\)
