Question

After multiplying both the numerators and the denominators, it's time to simplify or

reduce your product.
Example: 2/5x3/4 = 6/20.
The greatest common factor of 6 and 20 is 2. We divide the top and bottom by 2, which
simplifies to 3/10.
What is the reduced product of 2/3 x 5/8?
A
10/24
B
5/12
С
1/2
D
10/12

Answer 1

B. 5/12

Explanation:

2/3 x 5/8 = 10/24

The greatest common factor of 10 and 24 is 2.

Since the GCF is 2,

We divide the numerator and denominator by 2 and get 5/12.

Therefore, the simplified fraction of 10/24 is 5/12.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is B, 5/12.
