What is 12/30 multiplied by 6/6 in decimal form and fraction form

1 answer

To solve this, we first consider the multiplication of the two fractions \( \frac{12}{30} \) and \( \frac{6}{6} \).

Step 1: Multiply the fractions

\[ \frac{12}{30} \times \frac{6}{6} = \frac{12 \times 6}{30 \times 6} = \frac{72}{180} \]

Step 2: Simplify the fraction \( \frac{72}{180} \)

To simplify \( \frac{72}{180} \), we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 72 and 180. The GCD is 36.

Now divide both the numerator and the denominator by 36: \[ \frac{72 \div 36}{180 \div 36} = \frac{2}{5} \]

Thus, in fraction form, the answer is: \[ \frac{2}{5} \]

Step 3: Convert to decimal form

To convert \( \frac{2}{5} \) to decimal form, we perform the division: \[ 2 \div 5 = 0.4 \]

Final Results:

  • In fraction form: \( \frac{2}{5} \)
  • In decimal form: \( 0.4 \)
