Question

What is 4 over 9 times 7 over 4

Answer 1

To solve the expression $\frac{4}{9} *\frac{7}{4}$, we need to multiply the terms $\frac{7}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{9}$. To multiply them, we can first simplify both of the terms by using cross multiplication. Since we see 4 in the denominator of one fraction, and 4 in the numerator of another, we can cancel it out. That means that our terms that we have to multiply become:

$\frac{7}{1}$ and $\frac{1}{9}$

Now, we can easily multiply and deduct that our answer is $\frac{7}{9}$

Answer 2

4/9 • 7/4 = 7/9 or 0.77778
