Answer:


(2)/(5)

Explanation:

How about we try this:

Joe needs to plant tomatoes in his garden, but he needs to know the area before planting. What is the area of a rectangular garden that is
(2)/(3) wide and
(3)/(5) long?

To solve this problem:

The formula for area of a rectangle is
A=lw where l is the length and w is the width. This is the same as multiplying, which is done in the operation.


A=(2)/(3)* (3)/(5)

Multiply across


A=(6)/(15)

Simplify the fraction by dividing by 3


A=(2)/(5)

The area of the rectangle is
(2)/(5)
