Answer 1

If you would like to multiply the fractions 2/5 * 5/7 * 1/2, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2/5 * 5/7 * 1/2 = (2 * 5 * 1) / (5 * 7 * 2) = 1/7

Answer 2

let's write it as fractions:


`(2)/(5) (5)/(7) (1)/(2)`

we can simplify whatever is both in the nominator and the denominator: so fist, 5:


`(2)/(1) (1)/(7) (1)/(2)`



`(2)/(7)(1)/(2)`

now, 2:

`(1)/(7)(1)/(1)`

so:


`(1)/(7)`

this is the answer!
