Answer

1433\frac{14}{33}

44405\frac{44}{405}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Here are the solutions for the fraction multiplication problems.

:

812×1422\frac{8}{12} \times \frac{14}{22}
  1. Simplify each fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

    For 812\frac{8}{12}, the greatest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4.

    8÷412÷4=23\frac{8 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{2}{3}

    For 1422\frac{14}{22}, the greatest common factor of 14 and 22 is 2.

    14÷222÷2=711\frac{14 \div 2}{22 \div 2} = \frac{7}{11}
  2. Multiply the simplified fractions.

    23×711=2×73×11=1433\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{11} = \frac{2 \times 7}{3 \times 11} = \frac{14}{33}

    The result for the first problem is 1433\boxed{\frac{14}{33}}.

    :

    2245×418\frac{22}{45} \times \frac{4}{18}
  3. Simplify by cross-cancellation.

    Find common factors between a numerator and a denominator across the multiplication sign.
    We can simplify 22 (numerator of the first fraction) and 18 (denominator of the second fraction) by dividing both by their common factor, 2.

    22÷2=1122 \div 2 = 11 18÷2=918 \div 2 = 9

    The expression now becomes:

    1145×49\frac{11}{45} \times \frac{4}{9}

    There are no further common factors between the numerators (11, 4) and the denominators (45, 9).

  4. Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

    11×445×9=44405\frac{11 \times 4}{45 \times 9} = \frac{44}{405}

    The result for the second problem is 44405\boxed{\frac{44}{405}}.
