Question

Henry picked `2/4` a pound of apples, but `5/6` of them were bad. Of the apples Henry picked, how many pounds were bad?

Answer 1

`5/12`

Explanation:

All you have to do is multiply the two fractions. So...

`2/4 * 5/6=10/24`

Simplifying, we get

`10/24=5/12`

So `5/12` pound of the apples were bad
