Question

Can someone please explain step by step on how to do times fractions? Like for an a example!

Answer 1

When multiplying fractions you multiply the denominators by the denominators and the numerators by the numerators
For example
4/5x 2/3
8/15

Answer 2

Of course!

First, you'll need to line up both of your fractions, there's no need to have common denominators because you'll be multiplying straight across.

Next, multiply both numerators together straight across, then denominators.

4·2=  8

5·3= 15

Most fractions will need simplified after you've multiplied your fractions, but your product (8/15) doesn't need simplified since there's no common factors with 8 and 15, or a relationship.

Answer: 8 / 15
