Answer to Question #133858 in Algebra for Mbali

Question

4/10×5/16÷15/8

Answer 1

Solution

BODMAS

We start with division :

$$5/16÷15/8={5 \over 16} * { 8 \over 15}$$

Can be simplified to:

$${ 1 \over 2} * { 1 \over 3} = { 1 \over 6}$$

Then we go to multiplication :

$${ 4 \over 10} * { 1 \over 6} = {4 \over 60} = { 1 \over 15}$$

Answer : 1/15
