Answer = 24
↓Steps Explained:↓
We want to multiply the following 2 fractions:
Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.
Fraction Multiplication Formula
| Numerator 1 x Numerator 2 | |
| Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Numerator 1 = 3,
Denominator 1 = 9,
Numerator 2 = 72,
Denominator 2 = 1, so we have:
| 3 x 72 | |
| 9 x 1 |
| 216 | |
| 9 |
Reduce our fraction
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/9) x 216 = 24
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/9) x 9 = 1
Build our reduced answer
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 24
