Question

Simplify: $\frac{3}{7}\text{of}\frac{2}{5}$ .

• A. $\frac{29}{35}$
• B. $\frac{5}{35}$
• C. $\frac{1}{35}$
• D. $\frac{6}{35}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{6}{35}$

$\frac{3}{7}\text{of}\frac{2}{5}$ represents the multiplication of both the fractions $=\frac{3}{7}\times \frac{2}{5}.$

So, we will multiply numerator of one fraction by the numerator of the other fraction and the denominator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction.

$\therefore \frac{3}{7}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{3\times 2}{7\times 5}=\frac{6}{35}$
