Best Answer

You are asking how to multiply 1/2 x 1/3.

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators (numbers above the divisor line) and then you multiply the denominators (numbers below the divisor line). Then, what you do, with that answer is to evaluate and see if it can be simplified (that the number can't be reduced any more)

So, you have 1/2 x 1/3 = ?

Multiply the numerators (1 x 1) which equals 1 (the numerator)
Now, multiple the denominators (2 x 3) which equals 6 (the denominator)

Therefore, you now have 1/6.

Is this fraction stated at it's most simplified? I think you are able to figure that out, and get your answer.
