Question

Find the product:
$\frac{8}{7}\times \frac{7}{24}$

• A. $\frac{25}{3}$
• B. $\frac{20}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $6\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{8}{7}\times \frac{7}{24}$
On Cancelling 7, we get,
$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{\text{/}{7}^1}\times \frac{\text{/}{7}^1}{24}\Rightarrow \frac{8}{24}$
On cancelling the common factor 8, we get $\frac{1}{3}$.
