Answer:
B, C and E
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shaded section above is [tex]\frac{24}{80}[/tex], which means 24 boxes out of 80 are shaded. It can be reduced to its lowest term:
- [tex]\frac{24}{80}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
Now, that we know the lowest term, we have to look for similar fractions based on the product for each choice.
A. [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] x[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25}{80}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
- Therefore choice A is not a correct expression.
B. [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{80}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
- Therefore, choice B is a correct expression.
C. [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
- Therefore, choice C is a correct expression.
D. [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{64}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
- Therefore, choice D is not a correct expression.
E. [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{20}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex]
- Therefore choice E is a correct expression.
