How do you multiply fractions that have the same denominator?

Answer 1

you don't do anything. you just multiply it together unless on the numerator

you can reduce it with one of the denominators.

=================================

On the remote chance that perhaps you find the first answer unclear,

here's another explanation:

To multiply two fractions:

-- Multiply their numerators. That product is the numerator of the answer.

-- Multiply their denominators. That product is the denominator of the answer.

-- Now you have the answer. It may be possible to simplify it (reduce it to lower terms).

It's not necessary for the original two fractions to have the same denominator.

Just follow the same two easy steps to multiply the fractions, whether their

denominators are the same or different.
