im a lil confused can somebody help? : Find the product: 1/8x 5/6x 4/5 help me anyone

Answer 1

will anyone help?

Answer 2

multiply top times top
and bottom times bottom

in other words,
1 x 5 x 4 is the top
--------
8 x 6 x 5 is the bottom


however, there is a "trick" if you want to simplify this fraction
if you can divide the top and bottom by the same number, you can simplify
the easiest example is: notice you have a 5 up top and a 5 below.
divide both 5's by 5, and they turn into 1

1 x 1 x 4 is the top
--------
8 x 6 x 1 is the bottom

next, notice the 4 up top and the 8 below can both be divided by 4
divide the top 4 by 4 to get 1
divide the bottom 8 by 4 to get 2

you now have
1 x 1 x 1 is the top
--------
2 x 6 x 1 is the bottom

now do the multiplication
