Question

Multiply 77/72 by 9/7 in lowest terms

Answer 1

To multiply fractions you have to move to the left so multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.

`(77)/(72) * (9)/(7)`

`77 * 9 = 693`

`72 * 7 = 504`

`= (693)/(504)`

Now reduce:

`(693)/(504) / 63 = (11)/(8)`

(optional) Change into a mixed number:

`8 /11 = 1(3)/(8)`

The answer is "1 3/8 or 11/8."

Hope this helps.
