Hi there,

When you multiply to fractions together, you multiple the numerator times the numerator, and the denominator times the denominator.

%284%2F5%29%2A%287%2F6%29+=+%284%2A7%29%2F%285%2A6%29

%284%2F5%29%2A%287%2F6%29=28%2F30

Typically, we will reduce our answer to lowest terms. Both 28 and 30 have a factor of 2. So
we divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 to give 14/15.

Best,
