Question

How do you evaluate `\frac { 16} { 5} \times \frac { 3} { 8}`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply the numerators over the denominators:

`16/5 xx 3/8 => (16 xx 3)/(5 xx 8) => (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16)))2 xx 3)/(5 xx color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8)))) => 6/5`
