Question

Simplify the following expression.

5/6 x 3/5

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

5 × 3/ 6 × 5 = 15/30

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 30 using

GCF(15,30) = 15

15 ÷ 15/30 ÷ 15 = 1/2

Therefore:

5/6 × 3/5 = 1/2

Answer 2

1/2

Explanation:

5/6 • 3/5

15/30 = 1/2
