Final answer:
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators together, simplifying the fraction if there are common factors.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the units of the numerator in one fraction cancel out with the units of the denominator of the following fraction, only the desired units remain uncanceled and become the units of the answer number.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators together, simplifying by common factors as needed.
For example, if you have (3/4) * (5/6), you would multiply the numerators (3 * 5 = 15) and multiply the denominators (4 * 6 = 24), resulting in the fraction 15/24. If there are common factors, such as 3 in the numerator and denominator, you can simplify the fraction to 5/8.
