Calculate the product:

[tex]\[ 2.35 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \][/tex]

Choose the correct answer from the options below:

A. [tex]\(\frac{7}{30}\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(\frac{7}{15}\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(\frac{27}{30}\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(\frac{47}{30}\)[/tex]

Answer :

To solve

[tex]$$
2.35 \cdot \frac{2}{3},
$$[/tex]

we can start by writing the decimal [tex]$2.35$[/tex] as a fraction. Note that

[tex]$$
2.35 = \frac{235}{100}.
$$[/tex]

We then multiply this fraction by [tex]$\frac{2}{3}$[/tex]:

[tex]$$
2.35 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{235}{100} \cdot \frac{2}{3}.
$$[/tex]

Multiply the numerators and the denominators:

[tex]$$
\frac{235 \cdot 2}{100 \cdot 3} = \frac{470}{300}.
$$[/tex]

Now, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor. Dividing both by 10 gives:

[tex]$$
\frac{470 \div 10}{300 \div 10} = \frac{47}{30}.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the final answer is

[tex]$$
\boxed{\frac{47}{30}}.
