Remark

Some calculators will give you the answer directly without any intermediate steps. Just a b/c key and the * key. Having done that the answer is 2/17

Solution

Doing this by hand can be a bit of trouble. I think the easiest way is to multiply the first and third together and then worry about the middle one.


(2)/(3)*(1)/(4)=(2*1)/(3*4)=(2)/(12)=(1)/(6)

now just multiply your answer from the above job with the middle fraction.


(1)/(6)*(12)/(17) =(1*12)/(6*17)=(2)/(17)

because 12 ÷ 6 = 2
