Question

find the product
4 5/7×2 1/33​

Answer 1

Answer:

Product of two fractions =     Product of their numerators

                                                 Product of their denominators

[Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators]

i.e., a/b × c/d = (a × c)/(b × d)

There are three steps to multiply fractions are:

1. Multiply the numerators of the fractions (the top numbers).

2. Multiply the denominators of the fractions (the bottom numbers).

3. Simplify the fraction if needed to the lowest terms.

For example:

(i) 3/7 × 4/5

= (3 × 4)/(7 × 5)

= 12/35

(ii) 7/3 × 5/2

= (7 × 5)/(3 × 2)

= 35/6

(iii) 5 × 3/7

= 5/1 × 3/7

= (5 × 3)/(1 × 7)

= 15/7

(iv) 5/12 × 9

= 5/12 × 9/1

= (5 × 9)/(12 × 1)
