\(\frac{4}{5}\) × \(\frac{5}{8}\)
First, apply this rule: \(\frac{a}{b}\) × \(\frac{c}{d}\) = \(\frac{ac}{bd}\) / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{4x5}{5x8}\)
Second, simplify 4 × 5 to 20. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{20}{5x8}\)
Third, simplify 5 × 8 to 40. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{20}{40}\)
Fourth, simplify. / Your problem should look like: \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer as fraction: \(\frac{1}{2}\)
