Question: (\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{10} = 5\)…
\(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{10} = 5\)
Solution
The photo contains three separate fraction problems. Let’s solve them one by one.
-
Problem 1:
\[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{7} \]
Multiply the numerators:
\[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \]
Multiply the denominators:
\[ 5 \times 7 = 35 \]
So, the result is:
\[ \frac{4}{35} \]
-
Problem 2:
\[ \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{3}{4} \]
Multiply the numerators:
\[ 2 \times 3 = 6 \]
Multiply the denominators:
\[ 15 \times 4 = 60 \]
Simplify the fraction \(\frac{6}{60}\):
\[ \frac{6}{60} = \frac{1}{10} \]
-
Problem 3:
\[ \frac{9}{10} \div 5 \]
Rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal:
\[ \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{1}{5} \]
Multiply the numerators:
\[ 9 \times 1 = 9 \]
Multiply the denominators:
\[ 10 \times 5 = 50 \]
So, the result is:
\[ \frac{9}{50} \]
