What is 3/5 times 7/9?

Answer 1

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

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#
