Cumulative Practice

Exercise 9 Page 196

Multiply both the numerators and the denominators.

A

When we multiply fractions, we need to remember that the product of two fractions is equal to the product of the numerators divided by the product of the denominators. Let's find the given product!

5/12* 4/9

Multiply fractions

5* 4/12* 9

Multiply

20/108

We found that 512 * 49 is equal to 20108. Since 20 and 108 have a common factor of 4, we can simplify the fraction even further. Let's divide the numerator and denominator by a common factor of 4!

20/108

a/b=.a /4./.b /4.

20 ÷ 4/108 ÷ 4

Simplify quotient

5/27

The product we found is equivalent to 527. This corresponds to option A.
