Answer:
48=16 If that is what you mean
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply
5 over 6 × 3 over 8 = ( 5 × 3 ) over ( 6 × 8 )
5 × 3
6 × 8
= 15 over 48
Multiply the numerators and denominators.
Reduce fraction to lowest terms
15 over 48
= ( 15 ÷ 3 ) over ( 48 ÷ 3 )
= 5 over 16
3 is the greatest common divisor of 15 and 48. Reduce by dividing both numerator and denominator by 3.
