Answer 1

To express each multiplication expression as a single fraction, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Here are the expressions rewritten:

1. \( \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{1}{10} \)

2. \( \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 3} = \frac{1}{15} \)

3. \( \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 1}{5 \times 6} = \frac{1}{30} \)

4. \( \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 1 \times 1}{1 \times 5 \times 2} = \frac{1}{10} \)

5. \( \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 1 \times 1}{1 \times 5 \times 3} = \frac{1}{15} \)

6. \( \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 1 \times 1}{1 \times 5 \times 6} = \frac{1}{30} \)

Here are the final single fraction results for each multiplication expression:

1. \( \frac{1}{10} \)
2. \( \frac{1}{15} \)
3. \( \frac{1}{30} \)
4. \( \frac{1}{10} \)
5. \( \frac{1}{15} \)
6. \( \frac{1}{30} \)
