What is the product of frac25timesfrac34?

1 answer

To calculate the product of \(\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{6}{20} \]

Now, simplify \(\frac{6}{20}\) by finding the greatest common divisor of 6 and 20, which is 2:

\[ \frac{6 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{3}{10} \]

Thus, the product of \(\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(\frac{3}{10}\).
