Question

7 eights x 4 fifths is the math problem. I need to show work!

Answer 1

Consider the following expression:

`(7)/(8)\text{ x }(4)/(5)`

By definition, to perform this operation we must multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator, as follows:

`(7)/(8)\text{ x }(4)/(5)=\frac{7\text{ x 4}}{8\text{ x 5}}=(28)/(40)`

that is:

`(7)/(8)\text{ x }(4)/(5)=(28)/(40)`

Simplifying, this is equivalent to:

`(7)/(10)`

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`(7)/(10)`
