Question

Evaluate 3/2 times 3/4 and simplify. A. 2 b. 8/9 c. 9/8 d. 6/8

Answer 1

To evaluate \( \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} \):

\[
\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 4} = \frac{9}{8}
\]

Now, let's simplify \( \frac{9}{8} \). Since there are no common factors between 9 and 8 other than 1, the fraction is already in its simplest form.

The answer is \( \frac{9}{8} \), which corresponds to option **c.**
