Multiply the numerators and denominators. Simplify if needed.

Ex. 4/5 x 5/10 = 20/50 or 2/5

Cross Cancellation:

If there's a number in the numerator and denominator that are both divisible by a number, divide it with that number and multiply

Ex.

4 10

-- x -- = N

5 16

*Change 4 to 1 and change 16 to 4.

*Change 10 to 2 and change 5 to 1.

Turns out like this:

1 2 2 1

-- x -- = -- or --

1 4 4 2
