Hello There!

To multiply fractions, you first want to line up the numerator and the denominator together so they line up with each other.

Next, you want to multiply across. This includes multiplying the numerators together and then multiplying the denominators together.

Finally, you want to find the greatest common factor but only if the fraction can be simplified.

Hey there!

Question: How to multiply fractions?

Answer: well, in order to multiply fractions, you need to simply the particular fraction with the lowest terms (if they have any of course), then we multiply our numerators from each other so we can get a brand new numerator. (you do the same thing with denominators.

Example:


(6)/(8) ( (6)/(7) ) \\ \\ (6(6))/(8(7)) \\ \\ 6(6) =36 \\ \\ 8(7) = 56 \\ \\ \\ Answer: (36)/(54)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
