You are correct if you meant 13/15 times 5/6.
Thank you again!
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
Nice work, Bobbie.
To find the product of two fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
For the given problem, you need to multiply 13/15 and 5/6.
Multiplying the numerators gives us 13 * 5 = 65.
Multiplying the denominators gives us 15 * 6 = 90.
So the product of 13/15 and 5/6 is 65/90.
Now, let's simplify this fraction to its simplest form.
To simplify a fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 65 and 90 is 5. Divide both 65 and 90 by 5:
65/5 = 13
90/5 = 18
Therefore, the simplified fraction is 13/18.
So, your answer C - 13/18 is correct. Well done!
