Question

What is the product of 5/8 and 2/3

Answer 1

I think that product means to multiply so if this is true than the answer would be:

5/8 × 2/3 = 10/24

Simplified to:

5/12

Answer 2

When multiplying fractions, multiply across the top and across the bottom.

$\frac{5}{8}$ x $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{10}{24}$

Now, reduce the fraction by the gcf

$\frac{10}{24}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$
