Question

What is the product of 5/8 and 2/3

Answer 1

I think that product means to multiply so if this is true than the answer would be:

5/8 × 2/3 = 10/24

Simplified to:

5/12

Answer 2

When multiplying fractions, multiply across the top and across the bottom.

`(5)/(8)` x
`(2)/(3)` =
`(10)/(24)`

Now, reduce the fraction by the gcf

`(10)/(24)` ÷
`(2)/(2)` =
`(5)/(12)`
