What is 2/3 multiplied by 3/4?

alekos · Answer

well that would be two thirds of three quarters of a mile

thedolorosablu3capricousg1rl · Answer

well, if I were to multiply 2/3 and 3/4 wouldn't I need a common denominator? which would be 12??

aveline · Answer

When you multiply or divide, you do not need a common denominator. You only need a common denominator when you add or subtract.

aveline · Answer

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\times \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$$

thedolorosablu3capricousg1rl · Answer

ok then, it would be 6/12, simplified to the lowest it can go would be 1/2

aveline · Answer

Yes!
