Hello there! :)

To multiply fractions, we do the following:

We multiply the numerator of one fraction by the numerator of the other one.
We multiply the denominator of one fraction by the denominator of the other one.
Simplify if necessary.

Here's an example:

$\frac{3}{4} *\frac{5}{6}$

Step number one: multiply 3 times 5

4*6=24

$\frac{15}{24}$

The answer can be reduced. Divide both the top and the bottom by 3:

$\frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, that's the answer. Hope it helps! :)

$\dfrac{+(7-6)^2+(9-6)^2}{6}\\\\\delta^2=\dfrac{(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+1^2+3^2}{6}=\dfrac{14}{6}=\dfrac{7}{3}$

$standard\ deviation:\\\\\sqrt{\delta^2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{7}{3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt7}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{\sqrt7\cdot\sqrt3}{\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt3}=\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{21}}{3}}\approx\boxed{1.53}$
