1 answer

To perform the operation, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

(7/10) x (5/6) = (7 x 5) / (10 x 6) = 35/60

To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

35/60 = (35 ÷ 5) / (60 ÷ 5) = 7/12

Therefore, the simplified fraction is 7/12.
