What does "Of" mean in an expression like that? Do you multiply, divide, what do you do?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

multiply

jabez177 (jabez177):

Good and is that a negative sign?

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

yea, i think

jabez177 (jabez177):

Now, \[\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }\times \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]

jabez177 (jabez177):

5 and 5 rule out each other so those turn into 1.

OpenStudy (benlindquist):

ok

jabez177 (jabez177):
