Question

The product of 5/8 x 6/15

Answer 1

To multiply two fractions, you simply multiply their numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers), respectively.

So, 5/8 x 6/15 = (5 x 6) / (8 x 15) = 30 / 120

To reduce this fraction to its simplest form, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 30.

30 / 120 = (30 ÷ 30) / (120 ÷ 30) = 1/4

Therefore, the product of 5/8 x 6/15 is 1/4

Answer 2

Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

To find the product of two fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. That is:

(5/8) x (6/15) = (5 x 6) / (8 x 15)

Simplifying the numerator and denominator by dividing both by their greatest common factor, which is 2, we get:

(5 x 6) / (8 x 15) = 30 / 120

Further simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 30, we get:

30 / 120 = 1 / 4

Therefore, the product of 5/8 and 6/15 is 1/4.
