To multiply fractions you multiply both numerators (the top numbers) and both denominators (the bottom numbers) to get your answer.
For example:
1/4 x 2/3 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 3) = 2/12 (or 1/6)

A general rule for multiplying fractions: You shall not multiply the denominator by the whole number,only the numerator.Another rule is you shall make the whole number as a fraction by putting the whole number as the numerator and 1 as the denominator before multiplying it.
When multiplying 2 fractions, we multiply the two numerators together and the two denominators together.
if you have mixed numbers you make them into improper fractions before you multiply
