Question

2×1/5 find the product and simplify the answer

Answer 1

Hello! Our answer is 2/5.

`\large\text{Explanation:}`

We are asked to multiply these two numbers:

`\sf{2*\cfrac{1}{5}}`

Rewrite 2 as a fraction:

`\sf{\cfrac{2}{1}*\cfrac{1}{5}}`

Multiply across:

`\sf{\cfrac{2*1}{1*5}}`

Simplify:

`\sf{\cfrac{2}{5}}`

`\therefore` our answer is 2/5

Answer 2

`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

To find the product of
`\sf 2 * (1)/(5)`, we simply multiply the numbers:

`\sf 2 * (1)/(5) = (2 * 1)/(5) = (2)/(5)`

So, the product is
`(2)/(5)`, and it is already simplified.
