3/8 x 2/6

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we simply multiply their numerators (top numbers) and then multiply their denominators (bottom numbers) and reduce the resulting fraction if possible.

So,

3/8 x 2/6 = (3 x 2) / (8 x 6) = 6/48

We can simplify 6/48 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6.

So,

6/48 = 1/8

Therefore, 3/8 x 2/6 = 1/8.
