5/8 x 1/6 = [?]/[?]

1 answer

To multiply the fractions \( \frac{5}{8} \) and \( \frac{1}{6} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[ \frac{5 \times 1}{8 \times 6} = \frac{5}{48} \]

Thus, \[ \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{48} \]

So, in the format you requested, \( \frac{5}{48} = \frac{5}{48} \), where the answer is \( [5]/[48] \).
