Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

First find the LCD or least common denominator. The least common denominator is the number that both of the denominators are divisible by.

In this case, 2 and 3 are both divisible by 6.

Convert both fractions into a fraction with a denominator of 6.

1/2 = 3/6 (multiply numerator and denominator by 3)

2/3 = 4/6 (multiply numerator and denominator by 2)

Now you can multiply as they have the same denominator.

3/6 × 4/6 = 12/36

Simplify.

12/36 = 1/3 (numerator and denominator are divisible by 12)

Hope that helps.
