Study Notes
Product Calculation
- The product of fractions is found by multiplying the numerators and the denominators.
- For the fractions (\frac{1}{5}) and (\frac{5}{3}), the product is calculated as: [ \frac{1 \times 5}{5 \times 3} = \frac{5}{15} ]
Product Before Simplification
- The product (\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{5}{3}) before simplification is (\frac{5}{15}).
Simplification Process
- To simplify (\frac{5}{15}), divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5.
- This results in: [ \frac{5 \div 5}{15 \div 5} = \frac{1}{3} ]
Steps in Finding the Product
- Finding the product involves several steps, including:
- Multiplying the numerators
- Multiplying the denominators
- Simplifying the resulting fraction
- Any step that does not follow these procedures is NOT a valid step.
Lowest Form of the Product
- The lowest form of (\frac{5}{15}) after simplification is (\frac{1}{3}).
