Lets try and write it mathematically :

5 x 3/10 = ?

Lets try and multiply the number with the numerator and the result will divide it with the denominator.

(5x3)/10 = 

=15/10

Divide both the numerator and the denominator with the biggest common factor.

The biggest common factor of 15 and 10 is 5.

15/5=3

10/5=2

So 15/10=3/2
