Question

Multiply:
$\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{5}$

• A. $\frac{2}{15}$
• B. $\frac{5}{6}$
• C. $\frac{15}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{2}{15}$

We have to multiply the top numbers and the bottom numbers as follows

$\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{1\times 2}{3\times 5}$
$=\frac{2}{15}=\frac{1\times 2}{1\times 15}$

$\frac{2}{15}$ have no common factor other than 1, so it cannot be further simplified
