Explanation:

To multiply the fractions, like


(1)/(4) * (1)/(9)

Multiply the top,

then multiply the bottom.


(1)/(4) * (1)/(9) = (1 * 1)/(4 * 9) = (1)/(36)

Try to use a calculator if you aren't arithmetic heavy, but I suggest you to try to remember them because they are going to be helpful for courses like Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, etc.

To divide fractions, like


( (1)/(5) )/( (1)/(8) )

You take the top number,


(1)/(5)

Then you flip the bottom number,


(8)/(1)

Then multiply the two


(1)/(5) * (8)/(1) = (8)/(5)

And that is your answer. Comment if you need more clarification
