Answer:

1/24

Explanation:

First, multiply the two fractions together.

3/8 * 1/9

Multiply the numerators:

3*1=3

And the denominators:

8*9=72

So, the fraction ends up being 3/72.

I need simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3:

3/3=1

72/3=24

Simplified fraction is 1/24.

Answer:
(1)/(24)

Step-by-step explanation: To multiply fractions, first multiply across the numerators and then multiply across the denominators.


((3)/(8)) ((1)/(9)) = (3)/(72)


(3)/(72) = (1)/(24)
