Question

Show me step by step multiplication on how to answer : 1 2/5 x 1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What i would do is turn the first one into an improper fraction

7/5 x 1/4

it's easier to multiply this way

see if you can simplify any of the terms first

7     1

5     4

none of the numbers can be broken down further so we just multiply straight across

7 x 1 is 7

5 times 4 is 20

so the answer would be 7/20
