how do you multiply a fraction by a fraction

You can put the fractions next to each other and multiply the numerator by the numerator, and the denominator by the denominator, like this:

                       (numerator) 2 x 3(numerator)

                    (denominator) 9 x 5(denominator)

2 x 3 = 6

9 x 5 = 45

Your resulting fraction would be 6/45

see if this helps.
