How do you multiply fractions? Help!!!! I have finals soon and I need an easy way to understand this.
all you need to do is multiply the numerators together and the denominators together and then simplify if needed.
Hope that helps! :)
^^^ Yep!
Here's a couple examples:
\(\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4\times2}{5\times3}=\frac{8}{15}\)
And
\(\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{6}{15}=\frac{3\times6}{4\times15}=\frac{18}{60}\) then reduce \(=\frac{18\div6}{60\div6}=\frac{3}{10}\)
all you have to do is multiply the numeraters by the other numeraters if the denominator is the same...
