Solve the problem.
Make sure your answer is in simplest form.
5/8 x 4/15 =
5/8 * 4/15 =
20/120 = 1/6
14/15+5/6
To solve the problem, we need to multiply the fractions and then simplify the resulting fraction.
Step 1: Multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers) together.
5/8 x 4/15 = (5 x 4)/(8 x 15) = 20/120
Step 2: Simplify the resulting fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator.
The GCD of 20 and 120 is 20. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 20.
20/120 ÷ 20/20 = 1/6
So, the answer to the problem 5/8 x 4/15 in simplest form is 1/6.
