3/(5*6) = 3/30 = 1/10 = 0.1
times 4 = 0.4

(3/5)/ 6 = (3/5) * (1/6) = 3/30 = 1/10

(1/10) * 4 = ?

1/40?

No.

That answer doesn't even make sense.

Please study Damon's and my answers.

2/5

much better 2/5 = 4/10 = 0.4

Right.

4 portions weighs 2/5 of a pound.

I don't get how I did that

Both the numerator and the denominator of 4/10 are divisible by 2.

4/10 = 2/5

1/10*4/1=4/10=2/5

Yay! You've got it!
