Question

Find the value of ab when a=5/12 and b=1/3

Answer 1

Explanation:

When two letters are right next to each other, you multiply them. Since a and b are next to each other, we multiply them together.

`A=(5)/(12)`

`B=(1)/(3)`

To multiply fractions, you place them next to each other and multiply across.

`(5)/(12)*(1)/(3) \\5*1=5\\12*3=36`

Our final answer:
`(5)/(36)` (we cannot simplify it any further)
