How do you multiply fractions?

multiply across. Multiply the numerator or denominator. Remember what you do to the numerator you have to do to the denominator.

All you do is multiply across. For example...
1/3 x 2/5
Multiply the numerators and denominators.
(1 x 2) / (3 x 5)
= 2/15
If you need to, you can simplify but in this case you don't have to.
I hope this helps love! :)
