what is 3/7 * 2/10=
and 5/6*2/3= , 1/2*1/4=,4/5*3/5=,2/3*3/8=,1/7*5/9=
(Broken Link Removed)
3*2 = 6
7*10 = 70
Answer to the first one is 6/70. Then you'll need to reduce the answer; divide both parts by two, and you'll have 3/35.
Do the others the same way.

need help thinking of mltiplying fractions word problems
ok my homework on here is talking about multiplaying negative and positive fractions...I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!the equation is 5/12 x -8/5 =?? i do understand any of it!plz help as soon as you can
To solve the multiplication of fractions word problems, follow these steps:
Step 1: Read the problem carefully and identify the fractions involved.
Step 2: Write down the fractions in the problem.
Step 3: Multiply the numerators (top numbers) together to get the new numerator.
Step 4: Multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together to get the new denominator.
Step 5: Simplify the resulting fraction if possible by finding the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it.
Step 6: Write down the final answer in the form of a fraction or decimal, depending on the instructions.
Let's apply these steps to the examples you provided:
1. 5/6 * 2/3:
Multiply the numerators: 5 * 2 = 10
Multiply the denominators: 6 * 3 = 18
The resulting fraction is 10/18. To simplify, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2: 10/18 = 5/9.
2. 1/2 * 1/4:
Multiply the numerators: 1 * 1 = 1
Multiply the denominators: 2 * 4 = 8
The resulting fraction is 1/8, which is already in its simplest form.
3. 4/5 * 3/5:
Multiply the numerators: 4 * 3 = 12
Multiply the denominators: 5 * 5 = 25
The resulting fraction is 12/25, which cannot be simplified any further.
4. 2/3 * 3/8:
Multiply the numerators: 2 * 3 = 6
Multiply the denominators: 3 * 8 = 24
The resulting fraction is 6/24. To simplify, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6: 6/24 = 1/4.
5. 1/7 * 5/9:
Multiply the numerators: 1 * 5 = 5
Multiply the denominators: 7 * 9 = 63
The resulting fraction is 5/63. This fraction cannot be simplified any further.
