Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 5,
Denominator 1 = 12,
Numerator 2 = 360,
Denominator 2 = 1, so we have:
5 x 360 | |
12 x 1 |
1800 | |
12 |
(1/12) x 1800 = 150
(1/12) x 12 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 150
