Question

The simplified value of the expression $\frac{2}{5}.\frac{3}{7}$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The simplified value of the expression $\frac{2}{5}.\frac{3}{7}$ is $\frac{6}{35}$.

Step 1.

The expression $\frac{2}{5}·\frac{3}{7}$.

Step 2. Concept.

The product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \mathrm{or}·$.

Step 3. Calculation.

Consider the expression $\frac{2}{5}·\frac{3}{7}$.

 

Recall that product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \mathrm{or}·$.

 

Simplify it,

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{2}{5}·\frac{3}{7}=\frac{2·3}{5·7}\\ =\frac{6}{35}\end{array}$ 

Thus, the simplified value of the expression $\frac{2}{5}·\frac{3}{7}$ is $\frac{6}{35}$.
