Question

After multiplying both fractions, what is the answer?


1/2


1/4


3/6

Answer 1

To multiply the fractions you've provided, I will first express them in a way that's clear for multiplication. The fractions in question are:

1. \( \frac{1}{2} \)
2. \( \frac{1}{4} \)
3. \( \frac{3}{6} \)

If you're asking to multiply them all together, it would look like this:

\[
\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{6}
\]

To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:

\[
\text{Numerator: } 1 \times 1 \times 3 = 3
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 2 \times 4 \times 6 = 48
\]

So, multiplying all three fractions gives:

\[
\frac{3}{48}
\]

Now, we can simplify \( \frac{3}{48} \):

Both the numerator and the denominator can be divided by 3.

\[
\frac{3 \div 3}{48 \div 3} = \frac{1}{16}
\]

Thus, the result of multiplying the three fractions \( \frac{1}{2} \), \( \frac{1}{4} \), and \( \frac{3}{6} \) is:

\[
\frac{1}{16}
\]
