Multiply 1//9 by 4 1/5. Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
1/9 * 4 1/5 = (1/9) * (21/5)

To express 4 1/5 as an improper fraction, we multiply the whole number (4) by the denominator (5) and add the numerator (1).
4 1/5 = (4 * 5 + 1)/5 = 21/5

Now, we can multiply the fractions:
(1/9) * (21/5) = (1 * 21) / (9 * 5) = 21/45

The fraction 21/45 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.
21/45 = (21/3) / (45/3) = 7/15

Therefore, the answer, in simplest form, is 7/15.
