Can someone explain to me how to solve the following.

Directions:Multiply and write the answer in simplest form.

4/10 divided by 10/4?

4/10 / 10/4

change to mulitpcation by flipping the last fraction:

4/10 * 4/10 = 8/20

8/20 = 4/10 = 2/5

luke,
I'm sorry i had a typo

it was 4/12 multiplied by 10/4

No problem! Let's solve the revised problem.

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

The problem is now:

4/12 * 10/4

Multiply the numerators:

4 * 10 = 40

Multiply the denominators:

12 * 4 = 48

So the answer is 40/48.

To simplify the fraction, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.

The GCD of 40 and 48 is 8. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 8:

40/8 รท 48/8 = 5/6

So the final answer is 5/6.
