2/10 times 6/10

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

2/10*6/10=(2*6)/(10*10)=???

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

\[\frac{ 2*6 }{ 10*10 }\] can you solve this?

hero (hero):

Reduce each fraction before multiplying

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

12/100...yea

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

correct

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

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
