Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

First, set up your equation.

1/8 * 2/4

Second, simplify.

1/8 is already simplified so you keep it the same. 2/4 can be divided by 2 to get 1/2. So your equation is now, 1/8 * 1/2.

Third, multiply.

You want to multiply so the numerator is multiplied to the numerator, and the denominator is multiplied by the denominator. 1*1=1. Therefore, that's our numerator. 8*2 is 16 so that would be your denominator. Thus, your answer is 1/16.
