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

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

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

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

$${\frac{{\mathtt{17}}}{{\mathtt{15}}}}$$ 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   

 

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