This problem wants us to multiply and simplify the answer, and the multiplication problem we're given is three -fifths times five, six, and there's a couple different ways we could go about multiplying these two fractions.
00:11
With the first way we're going to go through, that is just where we just straight go into our multiplication of our top values, three times five to give us 15 over our bottom values multiplied, so five times six in the denominator gives us 30.
00:25
And if we use this method when we multiply first, then we need to look at our fraction and make sure that it's completely simplified.
00:30
15 over 30 is not completely simplified because both of those values are divisible by 15.
00:36
So when we divide 15 by 15, we get 1.
00:39
And when we divide 30 by 15, we get 2.
00:41
So our simplified answer is 1 .5.
00:43
That's one method you could use.
00:45
You could also use simplifying and cross simplifying to make this number smaller before you divide...
