Question

I need help working out this question, and I need to show the work!

Answer 1

Recall that, to compute the product of two fractions, we use the following rule:

$\frac{a}{b}\times\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\times c}{b\times d}\text{.}$

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{1\times2}{6\times5}\text{.}$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15}\text{.}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15}\text{.}$
