When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
Multiplying the product by 2.

5/8 How I arrived at my answer: When adding or subtracting fractions, you have to make sure that the denominators are the same. In this case, by multiplying 1/4 by 2, we will have matching denominators. (1/4)*2 = (1*2) / (4*2) = 2/8 Now that the denominators are the same, we can add the two fractions together: 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
Realize that the whole number can be written as a fraction too. For example, let's say you want the product of 30 and 1/2 30 is the same thing as 30/1 30/1 * 1/2 can be solved my multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. This will leave you with 30/2 = 15 As you get more experienced with this, you will do this much quicker and almost subconsciously.

-- Multiply their numerators to get the numerator of their product. -- Multiply their denominators to get the denominator of their product.
the product
The product of fractions is found by multiplying the fractions. You multiply the numerators and the denominators. For example. 1/2 and 1/3 have a product of 1/6 since 1x1 is 1 and 2x3 is 6 Here is another example. 2/3 x3/4 is 6/12 which is another name for 1/2.
A product is the result of multiplying 2 numbers together.

1. Multiply the numerators together. 2. Multiply the denominators together. 3. Simplify, if possible.
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In this instance, 5/2 / 7/3 = 5/2 x 3/7. Multiplying together the numerators and the denominators, you get 15/14, or 1 and 1/14.
The product of twice "a" and "b" can be expressed as: 2ab In this expression, "a" and "b" are variables that represent numerical values. Multiplying "a" and "b" gives their product, and then multiplying the result by 2 gives twice that product.
