To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators together, then multiply the denominators together, then put the new totals as a new fraction. It is possible the new fraction is not in its lowest terms. To simplify a fraction, find the GCF of the numerator and denominator. If the GCF is greater than one, divide the numerator and denominator by it. If the GCF is one, the fraction is in its simplest form.

2/3 x 3/4 = 2 x 3/3 x 4 = 6/12

The GCF of 6 and 12 is 6

6/12 = 1/2

3/5 x 3/5 = 3 x 3/5 x 5 = 9/25

The GCF of 9 and 25 is 1.

9/25 is in its simplest form.
