Answer 1

32 over 45 times a squared

Answer 2

Answer: 32 over 45 (32/45)

Explanation:

4/5 x 8/9 can be separated into two sections, the numerators and the denominators. Multiply them separately...

Numerators: 4 x 8 = 32

Denominators: 5 x 9 = 45

Then bring them back together, the Nermerator on top and the denominator on the bottom.

32/45

The number cannot be simplified further!
