- Rule: when multiplying fractions just multiply the numerators and denominators straight across and simplify.you do not need a least common denominator( LCD)
- Step 1: 2 x 3 =6
- 4 x 6 = 24
- Step 2: (6 x 1) simplifying
- (6 x 4)
FINAL ANSWER:
-
- Another way of getting the same answer..
- Step 1 2 x 3 = 6
- 2 x 12 = 24
- Step 2 Simplify
- (3 x 2)
- (3 x 8) =
- Step 3 Simplify some more..
- (2 x 1)
- ( 2 X 4) =
it took 2 steps to get the same answer!
-
- Multiply numerators and denominators straight across.
- in this example we did not need to simplify
- is already simplifiedmeaning there is no number that can divide into 10 and 21 evenly
