We want to multiply the following 2 fractions:
| 3 | |
| 1 |
| x |
| 2 |
| 9 |
Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Fraction Multiplication Formula
| Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
| Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 3,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 2,
Denominator 2 = 9, so we have:
| 3 x 2 | |
| 1 x 9 |
| 6 | |
| 9 |
Reduce our fraction
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/3) x 6 = 2
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/3) x 9 = 3
Build our reduced answer
Answer = 2/3
| Answer = | 2 |
