6/45 which is simplified to 2/15

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.
