Question

Find the product in simplest form.

9/10 times 5/7

A 1 13/50

B 9/14

C 14/17

D 4/7

Answer 1

B 9/14

Explanation:

First, we have to find the product by doing the multiplication.

9/10 x 5/7 = 45/70

We have to find the greatest common factor that both the numerator and the denominator share to divide them by which is 5.

We can simplify 45/70 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5.

This will give us 9/14.

We also know that this fraction cannot be simplified anymore since we took the greatest common factor that both the numerator and the denominator shared.

Therefore the answer is B 9/14

(sorry if this is confusing but I hope it helped anyway)
