What is one fifth of a third multiplied by an eighth?

Answer 1

In mathematics, "of" always means "multiply", so your question can be rewritten as:

1/5 x 1/3 x 1/8

To multiply equations, you multiply the top number (numerators) together - in this case, this is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1, and divide it by the denominators (5 x 3 x 8) = 120.

This gives the answer as:

1/120.
