Answer:

2/15

Explanation:

2/5 x 1/3

Identify the numerators and denominators. We know that numerators are the numbers located on the top of the fraction. Thus, 2 and 1 are both numerators. Denominators are the numbers located under the fraction. Thus, 5 and 3 are both denominators.

When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators by each other and denominators by each other.

Multiply the numerators first

2 x 1 = 2

Multiply the denominators second.

5 x 3 = 15

Product of the numerators go on the top whilst the products of the denominators go on the bottom.

2/15

So, 2/5 x 1/3 = 2/15
