1/8 • 2/4. Cross simplify so 2 can go into 8 4 times so the 8 becomes a four so now it’s 1/4 times 1/4. Then now multiply 1 times one and four times four. You will get 1/16. It’s already simplified.

Answer:

The answer is 1/16

Explanation:

To get the 1/8 times of 2/4 you need to multiplied both fractions.

1 * 2

8 4

The multiplication of fractions indicated that you have to multiply both parts of the fractions in a straight line:

1 * 2= 2

8 * 4= 32

The result of the multiplication is 2/32

We need to simplified this fraction:

2

32

Both numbers have half

2÷2=1

32÷2=16

So the result simplified is 1/16
