multiply 3/8 times 4/7 write the answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

To multiply fractions, we simply multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.

The multiplication of the fractions 3/8 and 4/7 can be written as:

(3/8) * (4/7) = (3 * 4) / (8 * 7) = 12/56

To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4.

12/56 can be simplified as:

12 ÷ 4 / 56 ÷ 4 = 3/14

So, the answer in simplest form is 3/14.
