1/5 · 2/3
1/4 · 4 1/8
2 3/4 · 1 2/3

1 answer

To find the product, we simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately.

1/5 · 2/3 = (1 * 2) / (5 * 3) = 2/15

1/4 · 4 1/8 = (1 * 33) / (4 * 1) = 33/4 = 8 1/4

2 3/4 · 1 2/3 = [(2 * 4) + 3]/4 · [(1 * 3) + 2]/3
= (8 + 3)/4 · (3 + 2)/3
= 11/4 · 5/3
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get
= 55/12
