calculate the following, leaving your answer either as a fraction (lowest) or in decimal form
Multiply: (2/3) (3/5) =
In this situation, fractions will be more accurate.
Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.
What do you get?
6/15
Nope. It's not simplified.
I wait i'm sorry 2/5. (Same thing).
To calculate the product of fractions, you simply need to multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together. In this case, you are multiplying (2/3) by (3/5).
Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators:
2/3 * 3/5 = (2 * 3) / (3 * 5)
Step 2: Multiply the denominators:
(2 * 3) / (3 * 5) = 6 / 15
Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed):
The fraction 6/15 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
6 ÷ 3 / 15 ÷ 3 = 2/5
Therefore, the product of (2/3) and (3/5) is equal to 2/5.
