Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

Given

  • 5/14 x 7/30

Solving

  • This can easily be solved by using cross-multiplication
  • If we are given a fraction a/b, it can be rewritten as a x 1/b
  • ⇒ 5 x 1/14 x 7 x 1/30
  • Now combine (7 and 1/14) and (5 and 1/30)
  • ⇒ 7 x 1/14 x 5 x 1/30
  • ⇒ 7/14 x 5/30
  • ⇒ 1/2 x 1/6
  • 1/12

Answer:


(1)/(12)

Explanation:

Rewrite the denominators as products of factors, then cancel the common factors.


\begin{aligned}(5)/(14) * (7)/(30) & =(5)/(2 \cdot 7) * (7)/(6 \cdot5)\\\\ & = (5 \cdot 7)/(2 \cdot 7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5)\\\\ & = (1)/(2 \cdot 6)\\\\ & = (1)/(12){\end{aligned}
