Question

How would you explain to solve multiplying fractions together

Answer 1

It's very simple! You multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and denominators (bottom numbers) together. Then you can simplify.

Examples:

`(a)/(c)` ×
`(b)/(d)` =
`(ab)/(cd)`

`(3)/(4)` ×
`(2)/(5)` =
`(6)/(20)` =
`(3)/(10)`

`(2x)/(3y)` ×
`(5)/(4)` =
`(10x)/(12y)`
