Simplify: (18/30) × (25/27)
medium Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Simplify individual fractions first
First simplify 18/30 = 3/5.Step 2: Cancel common factors when multiplying
Now (3/5) × (25/27) = (3×25)/(5×27). Cancel 5 with 25 → (3×5)/27 = 15/27.Step 3: Simplify the result
Simplify 15/27 = 5/9.Final Answer:
5/9 → Option B.Quick Check:
0.6 × 0.9259 ≈ 0.5556 ✅
Quick Trick: Simplify a fraction first when possible, then multiply.
Common Mistakes:
- Multiplying then forgetting to reduce.
