Question

Find the product and write in lowest term. Give me an integer or simplified fraction.
7/54×27/35

Answer 1

The product of given expression is $\frac{1}{15} \text{ or } 0.0667$

Solution:

Given that we have to find the product and write it in lowest term

Given expression is:

$\frac{7}{54} \times \frac{27}{35}$

Let us first find common factors of numerator and denominator so, thet simplification becomes easier

$54 = 27 \times 3\\\\35 = 7 \times 5$

Substituting these in above expression, we get

$\rightarrow \frac{7}{27 \times 3} \times \frac{27}{7 \times 5}$

Cancel the common factors in numerator and denominator

$\rightarrow \frac{1}{15}$

In decimal form, we get

$\rightarrow \frac{1}{15} = 0.0667$

Thus the product of given expression is $\frac{1}{15} \text{ or } 0.0667$
