Question

Multiply 4/5 times 5/8 . Write the answer in simplest form.(1 point)

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.

Therefore,

(4/5) * (5/8) = 4*5 / 5*8

= 20/40

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20 in this case.

20/40 = 1/2

Therefore, 4/5 times 5/8 is equal to 1/2 in simplest form.
