Final answer:
To calculate the product of 3/11 and 4/9, multiply the numerators to get 12 and the denominators to get 99, giving us 12/99 which simplifies to 4/33.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked how to calculate the product of the fractions 3 over 11 and 4 over 9.
To find the product of two fractions, you multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and then multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together.
In this case, you would calculate (3 × 4) over (11 × 9). Multiplying the numerators, 3 × 4 equals 12, and multiplying the denominators, 11 × 9 equals 99.
Therefore, the product of these two fractions is 12 over 99, which can be simplified to 4 over 33 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (gcd), which is 3 in this case.
