Respuesta :

Given:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Required:

We need to multiply the given rational numbers.

Explanation:

Cancel out the common terms.

[tex]\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{1}{5}[/tex][tex]Use\text{ }\frac{a}{b}\cdot\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\cdot c}{b\cdot d}.[/tex][tex]\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Consider the number.

[tex]\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{8}{7}=\frac{1}{1}\cdot\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

Cancel out the common multiples

[tex]9\cdot\frac{2}{3}[/tex][tex]9\cdot\frac{2}{3}=3\cdot2=6[/tex]

Consider the number

[tex]\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{8}{7}[/tex]

Cancel out the common multiples.

[tex]\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{8}{7}=\frac{1}{1}\cdot\frac{1}{1}[/tex][tex]\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{8}{7}=1[/tex]

Consider the number

[tex]\frac{x}{y}\cdot y=x[/tex][tex]\frac{a}{2b}\cdot\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{c}=\frac{a}{2c}[/tex][tex]\frac{m}{3n}\cdot\frac{n^2}{m}=\frac{1}{3}\cdot\frac{n}{m}=\frac{n}{3m}[/tex]

Final answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{20}[/tex][tex]9\cdot\frac{2}{3}=6[/tex][tex]\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{8}{7}=1[/tex][tex]\frac{x}{y}\cdot y=x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a}{2b}\cdot\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a}{2c}[/tex][tex]\frac{m}{3n}\cdot\frac{n^2}{m}=\frac{n}{3m}[/tex]
