Question

What is the product of 1.2 and 0.5 expressed as a fraction?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2 can be written as $\frac{120}{100}$

0.5 can be written as $\frac{50}{100}$

Multiply these two fractions,

$\frac{120}{100} *\frac{50}{100}$

= $\frac{6000}{10000}$

Simplify,

= $\frac{6}{10}$

= $\frac{3}{5}$

Hope this helped!! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2 = 1 $\frac{2}{10}$ = $\frac{12}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$ and

0.5 = $\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$, thus

$\frac{6}{5}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{6}{10}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$
