In order to multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators.
Thus, the multiplication of 5/12 and 2 is (5 * 2) / (12 * 1) = 10/12.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 2.
So, 10/12 simplifies to (10/2) / (12/2) = 5/6.
Therefore, 5/12 times 2 in simplest form is 5/6.
Multiply 5/12 times 2. Write the answer in simplest form.
