Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 224,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 3,
Denominator 2 = 7, so we have:
224 x 3 | |
1 x 7 |
672 | |
7 |
(1/7) x 672 = 96
(1/7) x 7 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 96
