Chapter 6.1, Problem 48E

To determine

To calculate : the product of the given expression.

Answer to Problem 48E

Theproduct of the given expression is,

  $\frac{3}{8}\cdot \left(\frac{6}{15}\right)=\frac{3}{20}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information : the expression is given as,

  $\frac{3}{8}\cdot \left(\frac{6}{15}\right)$

Calculation :

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{8}\cdot \left(\frac{6}{15}\right)=\frac{3\cdot 6}{8\cdot 15}\left[\text{use rule for multiplying fractions}\right]\\ \frac{3}{8}\cdot \left(\frac{6}{15}\right)=\frac{3}{20}\left[\text{divide out common factor and multipy}\right]\end{array}$

Therefore,

The product of the given expression is,

  $\frac{3}{8}\cdot \left(\frac{6}{15}\right)=\frac{3}{20}$
