Multiply 3/8 times 4/7 . Write the answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and the denominators (bottom numbers) together.

So, (3/8) x (4/7) = (3 x 4) / (8 x 7)

This equals 12/56.

To simplify this fraction, you find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator and divide both by it.

The GCF of 12 and 56 is 4.

So, 12/56 ÷ 4/4 = 3/14.

Therefore, 3/8 times 4/7 equals 3/14 in simplest form.
