1) If you multiply 1/4 and 2/3, what will be the product?
Answer (2)
Final Answer1/6SolutionMultiply the numerators:1 × 2 = 2Multiply the denominators:4 × 3 = 12Write the product:2/12Simplify the fraction:2 ÷ 2 = 112 ÷ 2 = 6
1/6We're asked to multiply the following fractions:→ [tex]\sf \cfrac{1}{4}\times\cfrac{2}{3}[/tex]Multiply the numerators:→ [tex]\sf 1*2=2[/tex]Multiply the denominators:→ [tex]\sf 4*3=12[/tex]We end up with [tex]\sf \cfrac{2}{12}[/tex].Reduce by dividing the top & bottom by 2:→ [tex]\sf \cfrac{1}{6}[/tex]
