Answer:

0.0625 or 1/16

Explanation:

1. Multiply fractions, a x b/c

When you a x b/c , you would do 0.3 x 5 /24, wich would be 1.5/24

0.3 x 5 = 1.5

2. Simplify 1.5/24.

Change 1.5 to 15/10

To get 15/10, you do 1.5 x 10 over 10, witch would be 15/10 , because 1.5 x 10 is 15.

3. Simplify 15/10

15/10, you can divided both by 5, witch would be 15/5 , 3 and 10 divided by 5 witch would gives you 2, hence 15/10 simplfies to 3/2

4. Divided 3/2 by 24 , which would give you 1/16
