To multiply rational numbers, multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together.
For example:
- To multiply 1/2 and 3/4: (1 * 3) / (2 * 4) = 3/8
To divide rational numbers, flip the second fraction and then multiply.
For example:
- To divide 3/4 by 1/2: (3/4) * (2/1) = (3 * 2) / (4 * 1) = 6/4 = 3/2
