Question

Find the quotient of 5/9 times 2/3?

Answer 1

`10/27`

Explanation:

You are messing up on an important use of terms here, and I think you meant product instead of quotient. Quotient means dividing, while product means multiplying.

I did not edit the question, as this is a great way for other people to learn from their mistakes as well.

Since you wrote "5/9 times 2/3", I will assume that you want to multiply the two fractions. See the solution process below:

`5/9 * 2/3`

`(5*2)/(9*3)`

`10/27`

This is our answer, since it is in simplest form and cannot be reduced or simplified any further in both numerator and denominator (top and bottom of the fraction).

I hope that helps!
