Question

2/4 x 7/8 find the product

Answer 1

7/16

Explanation:

2/4 * 7/8

`(2*7)/(4*8) =(14)/(32)`

Simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2:

`(14/2)/(32/2) =(7)/(16)`

Answer 2

7/16

Explanation:

To find the product of these two fractions, multiply across.

`(2)/(4) *(7)/(8)`

`(2*7)/(4*8)`

`(14)/(32)`

Now, reduce by dividing by 2.

`(14/2)/(32/2)`

`\cfrac{7}{16}`
