multiply 5/12 times 2. write the answer simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

So, (5/12) * 2 = (5 * 2) / (12 * 1) = 10/12.

To simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

10/2 ÷ 12/2 = 5/6.

Therefore, 5/12 times 2 is equal to 5/6 in simplest form.
