what is 5/6*4/5*3/2?

Question

this is the last question on my homework and im not good with multiplying fractions

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

I think it helps to separate it by numerator and denominator … so on this one it becomes

5/6 x 4/5 x 3/2

= (5 x 4 x 3) / (6 x 5 x 2)

= 60 / 60

= 1

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

When you multiple fractions you don't have to worry about changing anything. You just multiply straight across.

 

So you would have:

 

5*4*3 = 60

6*5*2    60

 

Simplify:

 

60 = 1

60
