To multiply fractions, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) of the fractions together. In this case, you would multiply 9 and 30: 9 * 30 = 270.
Step 2: Multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) of the fractions together. In this case, you would multiply 15 and 72: 15 * 72 = 1080.
Step 3: Write the product from Step 1 as the new numerator and the product from Step 2 as the new denominator. This gives you the result of multiplying the two fractions.
So, multiplying the fraction 9/15 by 30/72 would result in 270/1080.
However, to simplify the fraction, you can divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). In this case, the GCF of 270 and 1080 is 270. Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 270 gives you:
270/270 = 1/4.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1/4, not 27/108.
