Question

Find each product in simplest form you may leave your answers as an improper fraction

Answer 1

Given expression:

`(1)/(8)\text{ }*\text{ }(1)/(5)`

Taking the product of the fractions implies multiplying the numerator and denominator:

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ }\frac{1\text{ }*\text{ 1}}{8\text{ }*\text{ 5}} \\ =\text{ }(1)/(40) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the product of the fractions is 1/40
