Answer:

A. 5/4

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, we're able to multiply straight across.

This means we can multiply the two numerators (6 and 25) and the two denominators (5 and 24):

6/5 * 25/24 = (6 * 25) / (5 * 24)

6/5 * 25/24 = (150 / 120)

Now we can reduce by dividing 150/120 by the greatest common factor (GCF) of 150 and 120.

30 is the highest shared term by which both numbers can be evenly divided, so its the GCF:

(150 / 30) / (120 / 30)

5/4

Thus, 6/5 * 25/24 = 5/4, so A. is the correct answer.
