Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 30,
Denominator 1 = 1,
Numerator 2 = 2,
Denominator 2 = 3, so we have:
30 x 2 | |
1 x 3 |
60 | |
3 |
(1/3) x 60 = 20
(1/3) x 3 = 1
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 20
