. The fractions are and .
3. We need to reduce the answer to its lowest terms if possible.
STEP 2
To multiply two fractions, we multiply the numerators (the top numbers) together and the denominators (the bottom numbers) together.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the numerators and denominators to perform the multiplication.
STEP 4
Perform the multiplication in the numerator and the denominator.
STEP 5
The fraction is already in its lowest terms because the numerator and the denominator have no common factors other than1.
So, the multiplication of and is .
