Answer:

A. 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you have to multiply straight across, numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator.


(3)/(5) *(8)/(9)


(24)/(45)

Now we need to simplify the fraction, we can do so by finding a number divisible by both 24 and 45. In this case would be 3.


(24/3)/(45/3)


(8)/(15)

Answer:
3/5*8/9=8/15; A

Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to multiply both of the numerators together. 3*8=24.
Then, you want to multiply both of the denominators together. 5*9=45.
If you put the numerator and the denominator together, it comes out to be 24/45.
Lastly, you want to simplify 24/45. Divide those both by 3, and you get 8/15.
Hope that helps!
