What is 1/5 x 3/4?

Rationale

1/5 x 3/4 equals 3/20.

To find the product of two fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Therefore, 1/5 multiplied by 3/4 results in a numerator of 3 (1*3) and a denominator of 20 (5*4), yielding 3/20.

A ({4/9}) YOUR ANSWER

This choice results from an incorrect operation where the fractions are likely added or miscalculated. The correct multiplication of the numerators and denominators does not yield 4 in the numerator or 9 in the denominator, making this option inaccurate.

B ({4/20}) YOUR ANSWER

This fraction simplifies to 1/5, which is not the product of 1/5 and 3/4. The mistake here is in the multiplication process or the confusing relationship between the two fractions, as the correct product does not equal 4 in the numerator.

C ({3/9}) YOUR ANSWER

3/9 simplifies to 1/3, which does not represent the product of the two fractions. This result suggests a misunderstanding of the multiplication process, as the correct product is derived from multiplying the given fractions directly.

D ([3/20}) CORRECT

This option accurately represents the product of 1/5 and 3/4, calculated by multiplying the numerators (1*3=3) and the denominators (5*4=20). This produces the correct answer of 3/20, confirming it as the right choice.

Conclusion

The multiplication of fractions requires straightforward numerator and denominator multiplication. In this case, 1/5 multiplied by 3/4 yields 3/20, validating it as the correct answer. The other options stem from miscalculations or misunderstandings of fraction operations, reinforcing the necessity for precision in these mathematical processes.
