Answer 1

Eva Adamson

5/27

#(1/3)(5/6)(12/18)=(1*5*12)/(3*6*18)=(1*5*2*6)/(3*2*3*3*6)=(1*5)/(3*3*3)=5/27#

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together.

( \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{12}{18} = \frac{1 \times 5 \times 12}{3 \times 6 \times 18} )

Then, simplify the resulting fraction by canceling out common factors between the numerator and the denominator.

( = \frac{1 \times 5 \times 2}{3 \times 1 \times 3} )

( = \frac{10}{9} )

So, ( (1/3)(5/6)(12/18) = 10/9 ).
