Question

Describe and correct the error in finding the product
2/5×3/10=6/50=3/25

Answer 1

Answer: There is not error in finding the product. The result is:
`=(3)/(25)`

Explanation:

1. You have the following multiplication shown in the problem above:

`(2)/(5)*(3)/(10)`

2. To solve it you must multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators, as you can see below:

`(2*3)/(5*10)=(6)/(50)`

3. When you simplify the product, you obtain the following result:

`=(3)/(25)`
