Question

Find the product. (p. 756)

$\frac{9}{10}\times 50$

Short answer

The product is45.

Step-by-step solution

Step-1 – Given

The given expression is $\frac{9}{10}\times 50$

Step-2 – To determine

We have to find the product of expression $\frac{9}{10}\times 50$

Step-3 – Calculation

We first break all the numbers into its factors and then try to cancel out the same numerator & denominator. So it is:

$\frac{9}{10}\times 50=\frac{9}{10}\times 5\times 10$

Since 5 is in both in the numerator and denominator, so it will cancel out.

$\frac{9}{10}\times 5\times 10=9\times 5=45$
