5. What is the product of 2/3and the quotient of 6/8 and 4/5?


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]$ \mbox{\Large $ \frac{5}{8}$ } $[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Rewrite the given problem in a mathematical expression or form.

⇒ [tex]$ \mbox{\Large $ \frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{4}{5}) = \ ?$ } $[/tex]

2.) Flip or reverse the numerator and denominator of the second fraction or get the reciprocal of the second fraction, and change the sign used, from division to multiplication.

⇒ [tex]\textnormal{Reciprocal of} \ \frac{4}{5} \ \textnormal{is} \ \frac{5}{4}.[/tex]

⇒ [tex]$ \mbox{\Large $ \frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{6}{8} \div \frac{4}{5}) = \frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{6}{8} \times \frac{5}{4})$ } $[/tex]

3.) Multiply the numerators and denominators and cancel any common factors when necessary.

⇒ [tex]$ \mbox{\Large $ \frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{6}{8} \times \frac{5}{4}) = \frac{2 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 8 \times 4} = \frac{2 \times (2 \times 3) \times 5}{3 \times (2 \times 2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2)} = \frac{5}{2 \times 2 \times 2} = \bold{\frac{5}{8}}$ } $[/tex]

4.) Therefore, the product of [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and the quotient of [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex].

I hope this helps you understand this concept in Mathematics.

Stay safe po.
