Question

Help with this.

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 4y }{ 5x } * \frac{ x }{ 8y }\]

Answer 2

Multiply straight across

Answer 3

You get (4yx)/(40xy)

Answer 4

Which is the same thing as (xy)/(10xy)

Answer 5

Which is the same thing as 1/10

Answer 6

I'm doing it a different way. I crossed out the factors.

I got \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5x } * \frac{ x }{ 2 }\]

Answer 7

You still have to multiply

Answer 8

Then simplifying that... 1/4x * 1/2

Answer 9

When you have 1/2 times 1/2, you have to multiply straight across to get 1/4

Answer 10

In the end I got 1/8x , is that right?

Answer 11

No. If you have (1/5x)x(x/2), you have to multiply the numerators and denominators (multiplying straight across.)
