Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, you multiply numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator:

a/b*c/d=(a*c)/(b*d)

5/6*18/30=(5*18)/(6*30)=90/180=9/18=1/2

Therefore, the answer is 1/2. Looks like your answer of 113/30 either is wrong or the problem was not formatted correctly.
