What is 3 over 8 times 3 over 5?

Answer 1

3/5 times 3/8 = 9
steps:
1- get the denominator with the same number, so you have to times 5 by 8 and 3 by 8. Then you times 5 by 8 and 3 by 5.
2- Your denominator will be 40.
so you will get 15/40 times 24/40
3. keep the denominator which is 40 and multiply the top 15 times 24 which equals 360.
4- now you have 360/40, now simplify.
5- you will get 9.
