Answer 1

To multiply the fractions \(\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{3}{5}\), follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators together:
\[
5 \times 3 = 15
\]

2. Multiply the denominators together:
\[
4 \times 5 = 20
\]

3. Now, combine the results into a single fraction:
\[
\frac{15}{20}
\]

4. Simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:
\[
\frac{15 \div 5}{20 \div 5} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

Thus, the simplified answer is:
\[
\frac{3}{4}
\]
