Question

What is 3/5 times 7/9?

Answer 1

`3/5` times `7/9` equals `7/15`.

Explanation:

When multiplying two fractions, the process is to multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. Then you reduce the answer if possible. {Remember the raised dot, `*`, means multiplication.}

`3/5 * 7/9 = 21/45`

Both `21` and `45` are evenly divisible by `3`, so we will reduce the answer by `3`.

`(21 -:3)/(45 -: 3) = 7/15`
