times 5/6
. Write the product in simplest form.(1 point)

1 answer

To multiply the fractions \( \frac{2}{5} \) and \( \frac{5}{6} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{2 \times 5}{5 \times 6} = \frac{10}{30} \]

Next, we simplify \( \frac{10}{30} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 10 and 30, which is 10:

\[ \frac{10 \div 10}{30 \div 10} = \frac{1}{3} \]

Thus, the product in simplest form is:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \]
