Question

Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. $$ \frac{2}{5} 	imes \frac{9}{10} $$ $$ \square $$

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

First, multiply the numerators and the denominators:

$$
\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{9}{10} = \frac{2 \times 9}{5 \times 10} = \frac{18}{50}
$$

Next, simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $$2$$:

$$
\frac{18}{50} = \frac{18 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \frac{9}{25}
$$

Thus, the final answer is:

$$
\frac{9}{25}
$$
The answer is $$ \frac{9}{25} $$.
