Step-by-step explanation:
Paxton multiplied 2/3 times the 5 in the numerator. Then he multiplied the 3 and 8 in the denominator.
The correct way to solve this problem would be to multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. This would give you 10/24. You can then divide the numerator and deonminator by 2 and get 5/12.
