Here's the solution for the fraction multiplication problem.

\frac{16}{18} \times \frac{22}{10}

Simplify by cross-cancellation.
- We can simplify 16 (numerator of the first fraction) and 10 (denominator of the second fraction) by dividing both by their common factor, 2.
$16 \div 2 = 8$ $10 \div 2 = 5$
The expression becomes:
$\frac{8}{18} \times \frac{22}{5}$
- We can simplify 22 (numerator of the second fraction) and 18 (denominator of the first fraction) by dividing both by their common factor, 2.
$22 \div 2 = 11$ $18 \div 2 = 9$
The expression now becomes:
$\frac{8}{9} \times \frac{11}{5}$
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
$\frac{8 \times 11}{9 \times 5} = \frac{88}{45}$
The fraction $\frac{88}{45}$ is an improper fraction and is already in its simplest form, as 88 and 45 share no common factors other than 1.
The result is $\frac{88}{45}$ .
