Multiplying fractions

$chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2024%20x%20%5Cfrac%2036&chs=66x66$
- 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
- $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2024%20x%20%5Cfrac%2036&chs=66x66$ 4 x 6 = 24
- Step 2: (6 x 1) simplifying
- $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%206%7B24%7D&chs=38x66$ (6 x 4)
FINAL ANSWER:
Answer: $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2014&chs=22x64$
- Another way of getting the same answer..
- Step 1 2 x 3 = 6
- $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2024%20x%20%5Cfrac%2036&chs=66x66$ 2 x 12 = 24
- Step 2 Simplify
- (3 x 2)
- $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%206%7B24%7D&chs=38x66$ (3 x 8) = $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2028&chs=20x64$
Step 3 Simplify some more..
(2 x 1)
$chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2028&chs=20x64$ ( 2 X 4) = $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%2014&chs=22x64$

it took 2 steps to get the same answer!
- Multiply numerators and denominators straight across.
- in this example we did not need to simplify
- $chart?chf=bg,s,00000000&cht=tx&chl=%5Cfrac%20%7B10%7D%7B21&chs=32x64$ is already simplified
- meaning there is no number that can divide into 10 and 21 evenly
