Chapter 0.5, Problem 10E

To determine

The simplified value of the expression $\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$ .

Answer to Problem 10E

The simplified value of the expression $\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$ is $\frac{3}{20}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The expression $\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$ .

Formula used:

Product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \text{ or }\cdot$ .

Calculation:

Consider the expression $\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$ .

Recall that product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \text{ or }\cdot$ .

Simplify it,

  $\begin{array}{c}\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}=\frac{3\cdot 1}{4\cdot 5}\\ =\frac{3}{20}\end{array}$

Thus, the simplified value of the expression $\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$ is $\frac{3}{20}$ .
