Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{10}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Multiply to get 6/20, then simplify by 2: 6/20 = 3/10.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{10}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{4}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Multiply to get 15/60, then simplify by 15: 15/60 = 1/4.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Cancel 7 with 7 and simplify 4/8 to 1/2.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Correct answer: A

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Multiply to get 6/36, then simplify by 6: 6/36 = 1/6.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{6}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{2}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Cancel 5 with 5 and 6 with 12 to get 1/2.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is Common factors can be canceled to make an equivalent product with smaller numbers..

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Reducing common factors in a numerator and denominator preserves the value and makes multiplication easier.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Common factors can be canceled to make an equivalent product with smaller numbers..

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{5}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Multiply to get 18/30, then simplify by 6: 18/30 = 3/5.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Cancel 4 with 16 and 15 with 5, leaving 3/4.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The product is smaller than the other factor being scaled..

1. Set up the factors: Write the whole numbers or fractions clearly before multiplying.
2. Multiply and simplify: Multiplying by a positive fraction less than 1 takes a part of the other factor, so the result is smaller.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is The product is smaller than the other factor being scaled..
