Question 6 of 20beginner🔧 ApplyNumerical4 marks

Find the following products. Use a unit square as a whole for representing the fractions and carrying out the operations: (a) 23×45\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5} (b) 14×23\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} (c) 35×12\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} (d) 46×35\frac{4}{6} \times \frac{3}{5}

(a)
Answer

815\frac{8}{15}

(b)
Answer

16\frac{1}{6}

(c)
Answer

310\frac{3}{10}

(d)
Answer

25\frac{2}{5}

Explanation

(a) 2×43×5=815\frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 5} = \frac{8}{15} (b) 212=16\frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6} after simplification (c) 3×15×2=310\frac{3 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{3}{10} (d) 1230=25\frac{12}{30} = \frac{2}{5} after simplification
