Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 264,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 3,
Denominator 2 = 8, so we have:
264 x 3 | |
1 x 8 |
792 | |
8 |
(1/8) x 792 = 99
(1/8) x 8 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 99
