To multiply two fractions, multiply top numbers ( numerators ) together and bottom numbers (denominators) together, and cancel if possible.
Mixed numbers must first be changed to improper fractions before multiplying.

EXAMPLES
Perform the following operations:
1. 1/3 × 4/5
2.  2  1/3× 1  1/2


SOLUTION
NOTE: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1.   1/3×4/5= 4/15
2.   2  1/3× 1  1/2=  7/3× 3/2= 7/2 = 3  1/2.

It is possible to cancel before multiplying.
