Question

What is 3/8 x 2/5 equals to what

Answer 1

Answer:

$=\frac{3x}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \:a\cdot \frac{b}{c}\cdot \frac{d}{e}=\frac{a\:\cdot \:b\:\cdot \:d}{c\:\cdot \:e}$

$=\frac{3x\cdot \:2}{8\cdot \:5}$

$=\frac{3x}{4\cdot \:5}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:4\cdot \:5=20$

$=\frac{3x}{20}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Do you mean 3/8 times 2/5? It equals 3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

So multiple the top numbers together for the top result and multiple bottom numbers for bottom result. 3 times 2 equal 6, 8 times 5 equal 40. the result is 6 over 40. After simplifying, we have 3 over 20 (dividing both 6 and 40 by 2)
