Question

`(10)/(12)` x
`(7)/(8)`

Answer 1

For this case we must find the value of the following expression:

`\frac {10} {12} * \frac {7} {8}`

Multiplying the numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator we have:

`\frac {10} {12} * \frac {7} {8} = \frac {10 * 7} {12 * 8} = \frac {70} {96}`

We simplify, for this we divide numerator and denominator by 2 and we have:

`\frac {35} {48}`

In its decimal form we have: 0.729

Answer:

`\frac {35} {48}`

Answer 2

`(35)/(48)`

Explanation:

We have the following fraction multiplication

`(10)/(12) *(7)/(8)`

To perform this operation you must multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction. In the same way you must multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction

`(10)/(12) *(7)/(8)=(10*7)/(12*8)`

`(10)/(12) *(7)/(8)=(70)/(96)`

Now simplify the resulting fraction by dividing by 2 above and below

`(10)/(12) *(7)/(8)=(35)/(48)`
