= There are three steps on how to multiply fractions. = 1. First multiply the numerator directly, numerator to numerator (Top number). For example

2. Second, just multiply the bottom numbers (Denominator of both factor) together. 3. if you can simplify the fraction, it is better to simplify because teachers mostly take points off if it is not simplified. (Important: What you do with the numerator, do the same with the denominator) Then you can still simplify the fraction The answer is 3/5
