Question

What is the product in lowest terms?

-6/11 * 3/4 ?

( I need some help understanding )

Answer 1

-6/11 * 3/4 = -9/22

Steps in multiplying fractions

Step 1. Multiply numerators ⇒ -6 * 3 = -18
Step 2. Multiply denominators ⇒ 11 * 4 = 44
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
-6/11 * 3/4 = -18/44

-18/44 can be simplified. Divided both numbers by 2

-18 ÷ 2 = -9
44 ÷ 2 = 22

-18/44 = -9/22

Fractions should always be simplified. -9/22 is the product in the lowest term.
