5 2\3 × 1/5=

5*2/3*1/5

2/3

thatz the answer

Thanks Sasini but I do not think that is the intended question.

I think the question is

$$5\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{5}$$             can you do that one for us please Sasini ?

ans: 17/15 or = $${\frac{{\mathtt{17}}}{{\mathtt{15}}}} = {\mathtt{1.133\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$  or 1 2/15

Correct me if i'm wrong but, isn't is 255 over 225?

$$\left({\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\frac{{\mathtt{2}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{5}}}}\right)$$

$$\left({\frac{{\mathtt{17}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{5}}}}\right)$$

$${\frac{\left({\mathtt{17}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}{\left({\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{5}}\right)}}$$

$${\frac{{\mathtt{17}}}{{\mathtt{15}}}}$$  or   $${\mathtt{1}}$$ $${\frac{{\mathtt{2}}}{{\mathtt{15}}}}$$

Hi anon,

255/255 is also correct but it is not simplified.

It is better to cancel BEFORE you multiply - it is easier that way   

   $$\frac{255}{225}=\frac{17*15}{15*15}=\frac{17}{15}$$
