Example Question #93 : How To Multiply Fractions

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Before multiplying we want to reduce both fractions so we will have smaller numbers which are easier to multiply. 

For the 6/10 , both the top and bottom will reduce by a factor of 2. 

For the 9/12, both the top and bottom will reduce by a factor of 3. 

To multiply, we multiply the two numerators (tops) and the two denominators (bottoms).
