Question

What is the product of `\frac { 2} { 5} \text{ and } \frac { 3} { 9}`?

Answer 1

6/45 which is simplified to 2/15

Explanation:

In order to multiply fractions, simply multiply the top numbers together for your new top, and multiply the bottom numbers for your new bottom number.

`(2 * 3)/(5 * 9)` or `6/45`

You can simplify `6/45` by dividing the top and bottom numbers by 3, which gives this fraction.

`2/15`
