Question

Simplify
24over36 x 9over27
24/36x9/27
Please help?

Answer 1

\[\frac{24}{36}*\frac{9}{27}*\frac{24}{36}*\frac{9}{27}\]?

Answer 2

12 goes into 24 2 times and 12 goes into 36 3 times
so \[\frac{24}{36}=\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 3

9 goes into 9 1 time and 9 goes into 27 3 times so \[\frac{9}{27}=\frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 4

24/36 = 2/3
9/27 = 1/3
now you have 2/3 x 1/3

Answer 5

so
\[\frac{24}{36}*\frac{9}{27}*\frac{24}{36}*\frac{9}{27}=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2*1*2*1}{3*3*3*3}=\frac{4}{81}\]

Answer 6

24/36 * 9/27 = 2/3 * 1/3 = 2/9
or if you don't want to reduce at the beginning you can just multiply and reduce at the end
24/36 * 9/27 = 216/972 = 108/486 = 54/243 = 2/9
