Question

8/5 x 3/10

Answer 1

To multiply the fractions \( \frac{8}{5} \) and \( \frac{3}{10} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[
\frac{8 \times 3}{5 \times 10} = \frac{24}{50}
\]

Now, we can simplify \( \frac{24}{50} \):

Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 2:

\[
\frac{24 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \frac{12}{25}
\]

So, \( \frac{8}{5} \times \frac{3}{10} = \frac{12}{25} \).
