The answer is 10/36 or if you want to simplify, 5/18
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply the sides with each other, so 5/12 x 2/3 is 10/36 (unsimplified) . You multiply the numerators and then the denominators and simplify.
You start with the top number of each fraction and multiply them. So 2x3=6. Next you take the bottom number and multiply. So 3x4=12. That would give you a fraction of 6/12. 6 is half of 12 so 6/12 simplified is equal to 1/2. Hope this helps!
