You are just multiPlying the top two number then the bottom two numbers
That is correct. To divide by a half, you are actually multiplying by two. ■
the product
Multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Make sure you multiply them all. Not make any mistakes.

The answer is called the product.

When you multiply a nonzero fraction by its reciprocal you get 1. Take this example.Lets say you have a fraction called (a/b). The reciprocal of that fraction would be (b/a). If you multiply the two you'd get (a/b)*(b/a)=(ab/ab). Anything divided by itself is 1.

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction.
Multiply any two of them together first and then multiply the result by the third fraction.

No.
Because a fraction is represented by the ratio of the two numbers and multiplying both by the same number does not change their ratio.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

When the numbers within a fraction are reversed, this is called a reciprocal. A reciprocal is useful when dividing fractions - dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.For example, 4 / 2/3 = 4 x 3/2 = 6.
