Explanation:
Multiply the numbers up top: 8*1 = 8
Multiply the numbers in the bottom: 9*4 = 36
The two fractions 8/9 and 1/4 multiply to 8/36. Reduce this to 2/9 after dividing both parts by the GCF 4.
In other words,
8/4 = 2
36/4 = 9
Hello there! :)
When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerator times the numerator and the denominator times the denominator. We reduce if it's necessary.
So multiply:
[tex]\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{4} \\[/tex]
Reduce and get:
[tex]\frac{2}{9} *\frac{1}{1} \\\frac{2}{9}[/tex]
And that's our final answer. Hope it helps you!
