Answer:
1. [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
2. [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Explanation:
The problems above tackle on the "multiplication of fractions."
Let's solve.
a. [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
- All you have to do is to multiply the numerator of one fraction to the other, and also multiply the denominator of one fraction to the other.
- Numerator: 3x1 = 3
- Denominator: 4x2 = 8
b. [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{21}{40}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
- All you have to do is to get the "Greatest Common Factor" among the fractions. The GCF of 4 and 40 is 4, so you have to divide both of them by 4. The GCF of 7 and 21 is 7, so you have to divide both of them by 7.
