Respuesta :

To answer this, you need to understand how to represent this using math symbols.

The product of is the answer to a multiplication problem, so it would be 2/3 x 0.8. One fourth of this means that we are finding that part of the answer. To show this we would multiply 1/4 by that answer. Please see the attached picture for the written out problem and the work. The answer is 2/15.

A fourth as much as the product of two thirds and 0.8 is ²/₁₅

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication and Division
  4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem !

First, we will translate this word problem into a mathematical equation.

The product of two thirds and 0.8

[tex]\frac{2}{3} \times 0.8[/tex]

A fourth as much as the product of two thirds and 0.8

[tex]\frac{1}{4} (\frac{2}{3} \times 0.8)[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{4}{5})[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 5})[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{8}{15})[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{15}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{1 \times 8}{4 \times 15}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8}{60}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8 \div 4}{60 \div 4}[/tex]

[tex]= \boxed {\frac{2}{15}}[/tex]
