Question

i need help with 5/8 x 4/9 show your work

Answer 1

When we need to multiply two fractions, multiply the two numerators, then multiply the denominators and finally, simplify the new fraction, like this:

$\frac{5}{8}\times\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5\times4}{8\times9}=\frac{20}{72}=\frac{10}{46}=\frac{5}{23}$
