Simply multiply all the denominators together and all the numerators together

(the denominator doesn't have to be the same for multiplication)

7 x 4 x 1 = 28

16 x 3 x 2 = 96

The fraction is 28/96

This can be simplified to 7/24

Hope This Helps You!

Good Luck (:

Have A Great Day ^-^

Answer:

⁷/₂₄

Explanation:

Method 1:

Multiply numerators and denominators

⁷/₁₆ × ⁴/₃ × ½ = (7 × 4 × 1)/(16 × 3 ×2) = 28/96

Divide numerator and denominator by highest common factor (4)

28/96 = ⁷/₂₄

Method 2—Cancellation

Cancel 4s

⁷/₁₆ × ⁴/₃ × ½ = ⁷/₄ × ⅓ × ½

Multiply numerators and denominators

⁷/₄ × ⅓ × ½ = ⁷/₂₄
