Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 60,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 4,
Denominator 2 = 5, so we have:
60 x 4 | |
1 x 5 |
240 | |
5 |
(1/5) x 240 = 48
(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 = 48
