Answer:
3/4 · 1/4 = 3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
We can see from the picture that
yellow is
4 boxes out of the entire group of 16 boxes, hence 4/16
OR simplified
1 horizontal strip out or 4 total same horizontal strips, hence 1/4
blue is
12 boxes out of the entire group of 16 boxes, hence 12/16
OR simplified
3 vertical strips out or 4 total vertical strips, hence 3/4
The multiplication problem is
1/4 · 3/4 = 3/16 or 3/4 · 1/4 = 3/16
The result is 3 green boxes out of all 16 boxes.
(3/16 can not be simplified)
