Question

What is the product of 5/10 x 4/5 in lower terms (simplified)?*

Answer 1

If I’m not wrong 2/5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two fractions being multiplied and are being asked to simplify it.

When you multiply two fractions, you always multiply across :

$\frac{5}{10}*\frac{4}{5} = \frac{5*4}{10*5}$

$\frac{20}{50}$

Since both the numerator and denominator end in 0, we can simplify this by cutting out the zeroes.

Leaving us with B. 2/5
