2/10*6/10=(2*6)/(10*10)=???
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
\[\frac{ 2*6 }{ 10*10 }\] can you solve this?

but now you have to reduce 12/100 frcaction
hero (hero):
2/10 can be reduced to 1/5
6/10 can be reduced to 3/5
OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):
cool
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@flygirlmandi now you cancel the common four factor: 4
\[\frac{ 3 }{ 25 }\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
use the hero's reduced fractions and multiply then: 1/5 * 3/5=3/(5*5)=3/25 and this is the most simplified form
