Question

Perform the indicated operation. 4/11 x 10/8

Answer 1

Answer:  The required answer is $\dfrac{5}{11}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to perform he following indicated operation :

$E=\dfrac{4}{11}\times\dfrac{10}{8}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

In the given expression, since the two fractions are combined by the product sign, so 4 will be canceled by 8.

From expression (i), we get

$E\\\\=\dfrac{4}{11}\times\dfrac{10}{8}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{11}\times\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{11}.$

Thus, the required answer is $\dfrac{5}{11}.$

Answer 2

 5/11 because if you simplify starting at 40/88 you get 5/11
