Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex] or [tex]0.15[/tex] (they're the same thing)
Step-by-step explanation:
- Find a common denominator between the fractions. Both denominator have an LGM of 40
- Increase the denominators, so they both are now 40. To make it even, increase the nominators by however much you increase the denominators: 5 × 8 = 40 and 8 × 5 = 40. 2 × 8 = 16 and 3 × 5 = 15.
- You fractions should now look like this: [tex]\frac{16}{40} and \frac{15}{40}[/tex]
- Now, you can multiply them together. So, 16/40 times 15/40 is 3/20 or 0.15 (they're the same)
I hope this helps!
