Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we need to multiply from left to right:
another way to write 40 is 40/1
so multiply 3/8 and 40/1
(You need to multiply the top with the top and bottom with bottom)
3 times 40 is 120 8 times 1 is 8 so the answer will look like this:
120/8
But we can simplify it:
120 divided by 8 is 15
(If you don't know how to divide long division divide with smaller numbers like 2, 3, 5, 7, and so on)
Alternate way:
Divide by a prime number that can be divided in this case it is 2, stop when that number cannot be divided by that prime number
120: 120/2= 60 60/2= 30 30/2= 15
8: 8/2= 4 4/2= 2 2/2= 1
Hope this helps!
