Question

multiply.
\\(\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{3}{7}\\)
(there is a rectangular box for the answer and some operation buttons below, but the relevant calculation part is the fraction multiplication problem above)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply numerators

To multiply two fractions, first multiply the numerators. The numerators are 5 and 3, so \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \).

Step2: Multiply denominators

Next, multiply the denominators. The denominators are 8 and 7, so \( 8 \times 7 = 56 \).

Step3: Form the product fraction

Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2 to get the product of the fractions: \( \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 7} = \frac{15}{56} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{15}{56}\)
