2/5 x 7/12

Answer 1

To multiply these fractions, we multiply the numerators together (2 x 7) and the denominators together (5 x 12). This gives us:

2/5 x 7/12 = (2 x 7) / (5 x 12) = 14 / 60

Now, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2:

14 / 60 = 7 / 30

So, 2/5 x 7/12 simplifies to 7/30.
