Question

*Find the product. You can draw models to help you or use the multiplication strategy we learned.

7/8 x 1/2
Answer:


1/2 x 3/4
Answer:


2/3 x 1/12
Answer:


5/7 x 7/9
Answer:

Answer 1

To find the products of the given fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

1. For \( \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} \):
\[
\text{Numerator: } 7 \times 1 = 7
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 8 \times 2 = 16
\]
\[
\text{Answer: } \frac{7}{16}
\]

2. For \( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} \):
\[
\text{Numerator: } 1 \times 3 = 3
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 2 \times 4 = 8
\]
\[
\text{Answer: } \frac{3}{8}
\]

3. For \( \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{12} \):
\[
\text{Numerator: } 2 \times 1 = 2
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 3 \times 12 = 36
\]
\[
\text{Answer: } \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18} \quad (\text{after simplifying})
\]

4. For \( \frac{5}{7} \times \frac{7}{9} \):
\[
\text{Numerator: } 5 \times 7 = 35
\]
\[
\text{Denominator: } 7 \times 9 = 63
\]
\[
\text{Answer: } \frac{35}{63} = \frac{5}{9} \quad (\text{after simplifying})
\]

### Summary of Answers:
1. \( \frac{7}{16} \)
2. \( \frac{3}{8} \)
3. \( \frac{1}{18} \)
4. \( \frac{5}{9} \)
