Answer:

3/4 * 6 x 10 = 45/1 = 45

Explanation:

Multiple: 3/4 * 6 = 3 · 6/4 · 1 = 18/4 = 9 · 2/2 · 2 = 9/2

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(18, 4) = 2. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 9/2.

In other words - three quarters multiplied by six is nine halfs.

Multiple: the result of step No. 1 * 10 = 9/2 * 10 = 9 · 10/2 · 1 = 90/2 = 45 · 2/1 · 2 = 45

Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(90, 2) = 2. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 45/1.

In other words - nine halfs multiplied by ten is forty-five.
