↓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 = 49,
Denominator 1 = 8,
Numerator 2 = 1,
Denominator 2 = 7, so we have:
| 49 x 1 | |
| 8 x 7 |
| 49 | |
| 56 |
Reduce our fraction
The whole number = 6
The numerator = 1
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/7) x 49 = 7
| Fraction = | 48 + 1 |
| 8 |
| Fraction = | 49 |
| 8 |
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/7) x 56 = 8
| Answer = | 7 |
| 8 |
Answer = 7/8
