Multiply 4/5 times 5/8

Question

write the answer in the simplest form

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

(4/5) * (5/8) = (4*5) / (5*8) = 20/40

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20.

20/40 = 1/2

So, the answer in the simplest form is 1/2.
