Question

find the product. use the greatest common factor to simplify your answer. gcf = 2 \\(\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{40}\\) ?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify GCF of numerator and denominator

The fraction is $\frac{6}{40}$. The GCF of 6 and 40 is 2 (given).

Step2: Divide numerator and denominator by GCF

Divide numerator: $6 \div 2 = 3$
Divide denominator: $40 \div 2 = 20$
