First step is to either multiply the numerators (top numbers) by each other and the denominators (bottom numers) by each other, and then simplify the fraction, or you can first simplify then multiply. Hope this helped!!!

Simplify both fractions first.
Next multiply both tops together and that becomes the new top
Now both bottoms to get new bottom
simplify again

EX)
(3)/(4) * (5)/(6) (already simplified)
3*5=15
4*6=24

(15)/(24)
It cannot simplify again so that is your answer
