Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: 15×52=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

1×55×2=510

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 10 using

GCF(5,10) = 5

5÷510÷5=12

Therefore:

15×52=12

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for multiplication, to

15×52

and solve

1×55×2

=510

Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(5,10) = 5

5÷510÷5=12

Therefore:

15×52=12
