(8/9)*(27/2)
To multiply fractions, you follow 3 steps:
1. Multiply the top numbers (the numerators)
2. Multiply the bottom numbers (the denominators)
3. Simplify
(8/9)*(27/2)=
(8*27)/(9*2)=
216/18
Now you need reduce the fraction by finding the greatest common factor. In this case, both the top and bottom divide by 18.
216/18=
(216/18)/(18/18)=
12/1=
12
The answer is 12.
