1 answer

To find the product of two fractions, you multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

So, 5/12 * 9/10 = (5 * 9) / (12 * 10) = 45/120.

To reduce this fraction to lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 15.

45/120 = (45 ÷ 15) / (120 ÷ 15) = 3/8.

Therefore, 5/12 * 9/10 reduces to 3/8.
