True.
Canceling (also known as simplifying) before multiplying fractions helps ensure that the answer is fully reduced. When you cancel common factors in the numerator and the denominator before performing the multiplication, it reduces the fractions to their simplest forms, making the final multiplication easier and resulting in a simplified product. This process minimizes the need to simplify the fraction after multiplication.
