Question

Multiply the fractions and simplify the answer 2/5x5/7x1/2

Answer 1

2/5 x 5/7 x 1/2

you can cross cancel the 5 you make both of them 1.
so now u can multiply 2x1x1=2

then u multiply 1x7x2=14

so the answer is 2/14
now u need to simply that fraction to 1/7

let me know if u understand it

Answer 2

Here is your answer:

• 
  `(2)/(5) * (5)/(7) = (10)/(35)`
• 
  `(10)/(35) * (1)/(2) = (10)/(70)`
• 
  `(10)/(70) / 10 = (1)/(7)`
• 
  `= (1)/(7)`

Therefore your answer is "1/7."

Hope this helps!
