Question

Is it necessary to have a common denominator when you multiply two fractions? Explain.

Answer 1

It is not necessary to have a common denominator when you multiply two fractions

How to determine the true statement?

The statement is about the relationship between the denominator of fractions when they are multiplied

Take for instance, we have the following fractions

a/b and x/y

In the above fractions, we have

Numerator = a and x

Denominator = b and y

Where b and y do not have the same value

When they are multiplied, we have

Product  = ax/by

The denominators do not have the same value

And we were able to calculate the product

This means that the fraction denominator do not have to be common
