The first part of the problem we take an object and break it down to four equal subset. Mathematical written as 1/4. The next step is to further divide each of the four subsets into four sub-subsets. That will give a total of sixteen sub sets of the whole. 1/4*1/4=1/16 or object divided into subset, subset, subset, subset and then each subset divided into sub-subset, sub-subset, sub-subset, sub-subset. Gives a total of sixteen sub-subset
In mathematics, of always means to multiply. 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/768 gallon Remember to multiply fractions you must multiply all the numbers on the top (the numerator) and that gives you the answer for the numerator in the answer. Then, you multiply all the numbers in the denominator (the bottom) to get the part of the answer in the denominator.
if you're asking what is one third of one fourth, then it's one third times one fourth. you multiply the numerators and you multiply the denominators and you get one twelfth.
"of" means to multiply 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 ■
1/2 * 1/4 = (1*1) / (2 * 4) = 1/8
Multiply them by 1/4 or Divide them by 4
To multiply fractions: multiply their numerators, then multiply their denominators.So, 1/4 x 1/4 = (1 x 1) / (4 x 4) = 1/16.

if you're asking what is one third of one fourth, then it's one third times one fourth. you multiply the numerators and you multiply the denominators and you get one twelfth.
To calculate one fourth of one third, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. the numerators of both fractions are 1, and 1 x 1 = 1. The denominators are 4 and 3, and 4 x 3 = 12. Thus, a fourth of a third is a twelfth.

1/2 * 1/4 = (1*1) / (2 * 4) = 1/8
Multiply them by 1/4 or Divide them by 4
Multiply (numerator * numerator) and (denominator * denominator) 1/4 * 1/8 = (1 *1)/(4 * 8) = 1/32 Think of it as cutting a fourth into eight equal parts - when you multiply anything times a fraction your result gets smaller.
next terms in the sequence one eighth one fourth one half: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8,... (multiply by 2)
The reciprocal of one fourth is four. This means that when you multiply one fourth by its reciprocal, the result is one.
one fourth: divide the number by 4, or multiply it by 0.25half: divide the number by 2, or multiply it by 0.5 three fourths: multiply the answer to the first by 3, or multiply the original number by 0.75
(1/2) x (1/4) = 1/8, you multiply the bottom numbers (denominators) to find the answer.
