Question

Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. 5/2*3/10

Answer 1

(5/2)(3/10)=(5*3)/(2*10)=15/20=3/4

Or

(5/2)(3/10)= (5)(1/2)(3)(1/10)=(5)(3)(1/2)(1/10) =(5*3)/(2*10)=15/20=3/4

Or

(5/2)(3/10)=(5)(0.5)(3)(0.1)=(2.5)(3)(0.1)=(7.5)(0.1)=.75=3/4

All of these work, but the first one is simplest
