**Multiplying Fractions**

When multiplying fractions, you simply need to multiply the numerators by one another and the denominators by one another.

math \frac{4}{5}* \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{15} math
 * Example 1:**

math 5*\frac{4}{5} math First you need to change the 5 to a fraction by putting in over 1. Then you can multiply straight across. math \frac{5}{1}*\frac{4}{5}=\frac{20}{5} math Now you can simplify. math \frac{20}{5}=4 math
