Question

Find the product 3/4x2/5 and express the answer in simplest form

Answer 1

We have the expression:

$\frac{3}{4}*\frac{2}{5}$

To multiply fractions, we are going to multiply the top (straight across the top of the fraction bars) and multiply the bottom (straight across underneath the fraction bars). So then we have:

$\frac{3}{4}*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{6}{20}$

But since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2, we can reduce the fraction to:

$\frac{6}{20}=\frac{3}{10}$

So then the most simplified answer is $\frac{3}{10}$.
