Given expression:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}\text{ }\times\text{ }\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Taking the product of the fractions implies multiplying the numerator and denominator:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\text{ }\frac{1\text{ }\times\text{ 1}}{8\text{ }\times\text{ 5}} \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{40} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the product of the fractions is 1/40
