Answer 1

`(6)/(25)\cdot(5)/(12)=(1)/(10)`

Explanation:

We have the following operation:

`(6)/(25)\cdot(5)/(12)`

We operate knowing that in the multiplication of fractions, the numerator is multiplied by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.

`(6)/(25)\cdot(5)/(12)=(6\cdot5)/(25\cdot12)=(30)/(300)=(30)/(30\cdot10)=(1)/(10)`
