Multiply. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

4 over 3 x 6 over 7

(Do not cheat for free credit please)

Answer 1

The correct answer is 8/7.

In order to find the answer of this problem, multiply both the tops (numerators) by each others.

4 * 6 = 24

Now, multiply both the bottoms (denominators) by each others

3 * 7 = 21

Now we have an answer of 24/21, but both numbers are multiples of 3. So we can that to simplify to 8/7

Answer 2

4 over 3 × 6 over 7

becomes:

4/3 × 6/7

Multiply straight across.

24/21

Simplify the fraction by dividing both sides by 3.

24/3 = 8

21/3 = 7

Your simplified fraction is 8/7.
