To multiply fractions, you must simply multiply the numerators and denominators. This means, that by multiplying fractions, you are making the fractions smaller. If this does not make sense, then read the following example. Example: Equation: 2 4 _ x _ 3 6 Step 1: Multiply the numerators: 2 x 4 = 8 Step 2: Multiply the Denominators: 3 x 6 = 18 Now you have your answer! 8 _ 18!!!!
