4/5 x for x = 5/8
WHAT IS THIS
This is an arithmetic problem involving multiplication and fractions. The expression "4/5 x" means that we need to multiply the fraction 4/5 by the value of x. In this case, x is given as 5/8.
To solve this, we can multiply the fractions straight across. Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together. The resulting fraction will be the answer to the problem.
So, let's multiply the fractions:
(4/5) x (5/8)
Multiplying the numerators, we get:
4 x 5 = 20
Multiplying the denominators, we get:
5 x 8 = 40
Therefore, the result of the expression 4/5 x (5/8) is 20/40.
However, we can simplify this fraction further. Both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 20. By dividing both sides by 20, we can simplify the fraction to its lowest terms:
20/40 = 1/2
So, the answer to the problem is 1/2.
