Practice Question
What is the value of 2/5 multiplied by ¾ divide by 8/5
Answer Choices
- A: 12\25
- B: 1\3
- C: 3\16
- D: 64/75
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To solve (2/5) * (3/4)÷ (8/5), first multiply the fractions: (2/5) * (3/4) = (2*3)/(5*4) = 6/20 = 3/10. Then, divide by 8/5, which is equivalent to multiplying by 5/8: (3/10) * (5/8) = (3*5)/(10*8) = 15/80 = 3/16. Thus, the correct answer is 3/16.
