Question

What is the product of 5/10 x 4/5 in lower terms (simplified)?*

A.20/5
B.2/5
C.9/15
D.10/25

Answer 1

`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

We have two fractions being multiplied and are being asked to simplify it.

When you multiply two fractions, you always multiply across :

`(5)/(10)*(4)/(5) = (5*4)/(10*5)`

`(20)/(50)`

Since both the numerator and denominator end in 0, we can simplify this by cutting out the zeroes.

Leaving us with B. 2/5

Answer 2

If I’m not wrong 2/5
