Answer:
To find the product of 1/4 and 1/6, we need to first find a common denominator. In this case, we can use the least common multiple of 4 and 6, which is 12. We can then rewrite 1/4 and 1/6 as 6/12 and 2/12, respectively. The product of these two fractions is then 6/12 * 2/12 = (6 * 2)/(12 * 12) = 1/12. Therefore, 1/4 x 1/6 = 1/12.
Alternatively, we can simply cancel out common factors in the numerator and denominator of the two fractions before multiplying them. In this case, we can cancel out the common factor of 1 in the numerator and the common factor of 4 in the denominator to get 1/4 * 1/6 = 1/(4 * 6) = 1/24.
Both methods give us the same answer, so we can use either one to solve this problem.
