To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominators (bottom numbers) together. Then, you simplify the resulting fraction, if necessary.
For the given problem, we have:
5/15 x 2
Multiplying the numerators and denominators:
(5 x 2) / (15)
10 / 15
This fraction can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5:
10 ÷ 5 / 15 ÷ 5
2 / 3
So, the answer is 2/3.
