Multiply Two Fractions Quick Check
To multiply two fractions, you follow these steps:
1. Multiply the numerators (the top numbers) of the fractions together.
2. Multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) of the fractions together.
3. Write the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.
For example, let's say we want to multiply 2/3 and 3/4:
1. 2/3 multiplied by 3/4 is (2 * 3) / (3 * 4).
2. 2 * 3 = 6 and 3 * 4 = 12.
3. The product of the fractions is 6/12.
Simplifying the fraction, we find that 6/12 is equal to 1/2.
