We want to multiply the following 2 fractions:
| 8 | |
| 9 |
| x |
| 5 |
| 6 |
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 = 8,
Denominator 1 = 9,
Numerator 2 = 5,
Denominator 2 = 6, so we have:
| 8 x 5 | |
| 9 x 6 |
| 40 | |
| 54 |
Reduce our fraction
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/2) x 40 = 20
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/2) x 54 = 27
Build our reduced answer
Answer = 20/27
| Answer = | 20 |
| 27 |
Final Answer
20/27
