13) Write, and solve the product of two fractions as illustrated in the figure below. Make sure to connect your solution to what is shown in the drawing.
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
![**Problem 13:** Write and solve the product of two fractions as illustrated in the figure below. Make sure to connect your solution to what is shown in the drawing.
The diagram consists of a grid with 5 rows and 6 columns, creating a total of 30 small squares.
- The first two rows are shaded in orange, indicating two out of five rows, which represents the fraction \( \frac{2}{5} \).
- The first three columns of the last two rows are shaded in purple, indicating three out of six columns, which represents the fraction \( \frac{3}{6} \).
The overlapping area, where the orange and purple shading intersect, covers 6 squares.
The expression to fill in is:
\[ \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{6} = \frac{6}{30} \]
The solution shows that both fractions overlap in 6 of the total 30 squares, simplifying to \( \frac{1}{5} \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa12589fb-477e-4a42-9225-2d1cc3fb7157%2F8d3a3092-21a9-4c64-8b13-1c0e8c99c842%2Fgyv35ye_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
