To solve the expression
(4)/(9) *(7)/(4), we need to multiply the terms
(7)/(4) and
(4)/(9). To multiply them, we can first simplify both of the terms by using cross multiplication. Since we see 4 in the denominator of one fraction, and 4 in the numerator of another, we can cancel it out. That means that our terms that we have to multiply become:


(7)/(1) and
(1)/(9)

Now, we can easily multiply and deduct that our answer is
(7)/(9)
