Question

What is the product?

5/8x3/4=?
a:8/32
b:15/32
c:8/12
d:15/12 plz explain and show work

Answer 1

B is the answer because you multiply 5 times 3 and 8 times 4 and get 15/32 which you can't simplify.

Answer 2

You just have to multiply straight across. Multiply the numerators for the new numerator, and the denominators for the new denominator.
5*3=15
4*8=32
15/32 is the answer (b).
