Ravi multiplied `25/8` and `16/15` to obtain `400/120`. 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 correct? Explain
उत्तर
Product of `25/8` and `16/15`
= `25/8 xx 16/15`
= `10/3`
= `3 1/3`
Answer obtained = `400/120`
= `(400 ÷ 40)/(120 ÷ 40)`
= `10/3`
= `3 1/3`
∴ The product is `400/120` and its simplest form improper fraction is `10/3`
And mixed fraction is `3 1/3`
∴ Both are correct
