Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 485,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 2,
Denominator 2 = 5, so we have:
485 x 2 | |
1 x 5 |
970 | |
5 |
(1/5) x 970 = 194
(1/5) x 5 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 194
