You multiply two rational numbers by multiplying numerators and denominators with each other. So, you have


(a)/(b) * (c)/(d) = (ac)/(bd)

A rational number is a fraction where both numerator and denominator are integers. Since the product of two integers is an integer, the result fraction is also a rational number, because both
ac and
bd are integers.
