Answer:

when multiplying fractions, this is how you set them up:

1 1 1

_ x _ = _

5 3 15

Explanation:

you multiply the numerators to get your numerator answer, and multiply your denominators to get your denominator answer.

If you wanted an example, say you had a pizza divided into 15 slices. Your friend has 3 slices and you have 5. What fraction did you both eat individually? Well, you ate 5/15, or, 1/3, because 5/15 simplified is 1/3. Your friend ate 3/15, or, 1/5, because 3/15 simplified is 1/5. I hope this helps and comes to you quickly.
