Simple fractions require basic math. Since you are multiplying fractions, follow the basic steps in order to get the answer (simplified or not).

Step 1:

Simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms.
For example in the given equation, since it is in its lowest term, we opt to leave it as it is.

Step 2:

Multiply the numerators of the fraction in the given equation to get a niew numerator

9 x 2 = 18

Step 3:

This is the same as step 2. Multiply the denominators in the given equation to get a new denominator

10 x 5= 50

Step 4:

Simplify the resulting fraction if possible

9/10 x 2/5 = 18 / 50

The answer 18/50 can be simplified and the resulting fraction will be 9/25
