30/180? is the answer I got from multiplying 1/2 *2/3*3/4*4/5*5/6 Im not understanding the answers im being given to choose from because none of them seem correct
+1253 Let's look at it a better way.
\(\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{4}*\frac{4}{5}*\frac{5}{6}\).
Can we cancel anything out? Yes, we can! In fact, we can cross out 2, 3, 4, and 5!
Now it's just a simple \(\frac{1}{6}\)!
Alternatively, you can mutliply the tops and bottoms and get \(\frac{120}{720}\) which equals \(\frac{1}{6}\).
You are very welcome!

+127 Well, you need to learn how to cross cancel
go to this site https://www.mathbootcamps.com/multiplying-fractions-cross-cancelling/
now that you know, piece of pi
1/2 * 2/3 * 3/4 * 4/5 * 5/6 you cross cancel and get 1/6
guess what? 30/180 simplifies to 1/6
