Q. What is the product of (102)⋅(54)⋅(23)? Express your answer in the simplest fraction.
Simplify fractions: Simplify each fraction to its lowest terms.(2/10) can be simplified to (1/5) because 2 is a common factor of both the numerator and the denominator.(4/5) is already in its simplest form.(3/2) is already in its simplest form.
Multiply fractions: Multiply the simplified fractions.(51)∗(54)∗(23)First, multiply the numerators: 1∗4∗3=12Then, multiply the denominators: 5∗5∗2=50So, the product of the fractions is (5012).
Simplify result: Simplify the resulting fraction to its lowest terms.(12/50) can be simplified because 2 is a common factor of both the numerator and the denominator.Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2: (12÷2)/(50÷2)=(6/25)
