\( \left\{\begin{array}{l}\text { q. Solve the } \\ \text { equation. } \\ 3 \times \frac{2}{5}\end{array}\right. \)

To solve the equation \(3 \times \frac{2}{5}\), simply multiply the whole number by the fraction. First, treat the whole number as a fraction itself: \(3 = \frac{3}{1}\). Now, multiply numerators together and denominators together: \[ \frac{3 \times 2}{1 \times 5} = \frac{6}{5} \] So, \(3 \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{5}\) or \(1.2\). Multiplying fractions is like a culinary recipe—just mix the ingredients (numbers) without changing the flavor (that is, the mathematical principles)! And don't forget to simplify if needed—here, \(\frac{6}{5}\) is already in its simplest form. Next time you're faced with a fraction multiplication, think of it as a party where every numerator and denominator brings their best to the table. And remember: stay calm and check your work—it helps avoid silly mistakes!
