When multiplying fractions we multiply all the numerators to produce a new numerator and we multiply all the denominators to produce a new denominator, then we reduce the new fraction to its simplest form.
In this case - 7/8 x 2/5 gives 7 x 2 = 14 as the new numerator and 8 x 5 = 40 as the new denominator
The "new" fraction is now 14/40 or 7/20
No. Two fifths is equal to 0.40, while five eighths is equal to .625
As an equation four fifths of seven eighths is x= (4/5)x(7/8) This reduces to: x=(4x5)/(7x8) or x=(28/40) Both numerator and denominator can be divided by 4 So: x=(28/4)/(40/4) Which reduces to: x= 7/10
Four fifths.
7/8 divided by 2 is 0.4375
2/5 = 16/40 5/8 = 25/40 5/8 is bigger than 2/5.

Seven eighths (7/8) is greater than two fifths (2/5). When comparing the two fractions, 7/8 equals 0.875, while 2/5 equals 0.4. Since 0.875 is greater than 0.4, seven eighths is indeed greater than two fifths.
Seven eighths is bigger. 2\5 < 7\8
three eighths, two thirds, four fifths.
35/40 - 16/40 = 29/40
No. Two fifths is equal to 0.40, while five eighths is equal to .625
Four fifths times one and two thirds times one and one eighth = 1 1/2 or 1.5
Two fifths is bigger.
