Question

What is 7/8 times 6/8

Answer 1

7/8×6/8=21/32

7x6=42
8x8=64
42 divided by 2 equals 21
64 divided by 2 equals 32
therefore 21/32

Answer 2

`(21)/(32)`

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you multiply the numerators together and denominators together. This means that the problem above can be rewritten as,
`(7*6)/(8*8)`. Then, multiply this out to get
`(42)/(64)`. However, this fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives the final answer,
`(21)/(32)`.
