there is 3/4 of a box of cereal remaining. you eat 2/5 of the remaining cereal. what fraction of the box do you eat?

Verified Answer :

You have to multiply the two fractions by each other:

\(\frac{3}{4} * \frac{2}{5}\)

you mupliply the nominator and denominator separately:

\(\frac{3*2}{4*5}\)

which is

\(\frac{3}{2*5}\)


which is finally

\(\frac{3}{10}\)


so you ate
\(\frac{3}{10}\) or 0.3 of the box!
