Answer:

1. Multiplying the numerators

2. Multiplying the denominators

3. simplifying

Explanation:

1. for example the question is 3/4 multiplied by 2/5 first you should multiply 3 and 2 = 6 then multiply 5/4 which is 20 so it's 6/20.

2. to simplify 6/20 you can divide by 2 to make the final answer 3/10
