Answer:

1 1/5

Explanation:

First, make 3 a fraction by putting it over one. Then multiply the numerators (top) together and the denominators (bottom) together.

3/1 x 2/5 = 6/5

Now reduce by dividing 6 by 5 and you get 1 1/5.

\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{3*(2)/(5)}\\\\\mathsf{= (3)/(1)*(2)/(5)}\\\\\mathsf{= (3*2)/(1*5)}\\\\\mathsf{= (6)/(5)}\\\\\mathsf{= 1 (1)/(5)}\\\\\huge\text{Thus, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{(6)/(5) \ or \ 1 (1)/(5)}}}\huge\checkmark
