Question

ravi multiplied 25/8 and 16/15 amd he says that the simplest form of this product is 10/3 and chandru says the answer in the simplest form is 3^1/3.who is correct?(or)are they both are correct?explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{25}{18} \times \frac{16}{15}$

$\frac{25}{8} \times \frac{16}{15} = \frac{25 \times 16}{8 \times 15} = \frac{400}{120} = \frac{400 \div 40}{120 \div 40} = \frac{10}{3}$

Chandru's method

3 => Quotient

3 | 10

- 9

1 => Remainder

$q \frac{r}{d} = 3 \frac{1}{3}$
