Question

Multiply. Reduce to lowest terms. 3/7×4/5=

Answer 1

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply both tops and both bottoms so you have one fraction.

Reduce by dividing top and bottom by the same number.

$\frac{3}{4}X\frac{4}{5} = \frac{12}{20} = \frac{3}{5}$

12/20 becomes 3/5 because:

12÷4 =3

20÷4=5

Top and bottom are divided by same "scale factor", 4.

3 and 5 do not have any common factors other than 1, therefore 3/5 is the lowest term.
