Question

What is 3/8 x 2/5 equals to what

Answer 1

Do you mean 3/8 times 2/5? It equals 3/20

Explanation:

So multiple the top numbers together for the top result and multiple bottom numbers for bottom result. 3 times 2 equal 6, 8 times 5 equal 40. the result is 6 over 40. After simplifying, we have 3 over 20 (dividing both 6 and 40 by 2)

Answer 2

`=(3x)/(20)`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \:a\cdot (b)/(c)\cdot (d)/(e)=(a\:\cdot \:b\:\cdot \:d)/(c\:\cdot \:e)`

`=(3x\cdot \:2)/(8\cdot \:5)`

`=(3x)/(4\cdot \:5)`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:5=20`

`=(3x)/(20)`
