KIM [24]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

4/9&3/8

4/9x3/8= ?

Multiply both numerators

= 4 x 3

= 12

Multiply both denominators

= 9 x 8

= 72

Use above values of step 2 & 3, and rewrite as below

= 12/72

so, 12/72 is equivalent to the fraction for 4/9 times of 3/8, and its simplified form is 1/6.
