Answer 1

We want to list the steps involved in multiplying fractions;

Taking an example;

$\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}$

First steps are;

- Multiply the numerators together

- Multiply the Denominators together

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{2\times3}{3\times4} \\ =\frac{6}{12} \end{gathered}$

Next is to;

Check to see if the product can be simplified;

$\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$

So, we get the product to be;

$\frac{1}{2}$
