Question

Eight multiply by 5 over 12 equals

Answer 1

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

First, 8 multiplied by 5 is equal to 40.

Then, 40 over 12 is the same as 40 divided by 12.

But hey! 40 isn't divisible by 12.

So we write this as a fraction:

`\bold{\displaystyle(40)/(12) }`

Surprise! This fraction can be reduced.

• Divide both the numerator (40) and the denominator (12) by 4:

`\bold{\displaystyle(10)/(3) }`

Hence, the answer is:

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{\displaystyle(10)/(3) }}}` <-- the answer written as an improper fraction

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{3\displaystyle(1)/(3)}}}` <-- the answer written as a mixed number

Hope everything is clear.
