Question

how do u mult fractions??? i typed in 15/16 x 4/9 and it came out as 5/1

Answer 1

5/12 sorry

Answer 2

when multiplying fractions, you can simply multiply across the two, so:
15/16 * 4/9 = (15 * 4)/(16 * 9) = 60/144

We can further reduce this new fraction by pulling a 12 out of the top and bottom:
12(5)/12(12), cancelling the 12, we are left with 5/12.

Answer 3

the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators

Answer 4

where do you get 12 from both top and bottom?

Answer 5

never mind.
