Question

(\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{1}{3} =) ((multiply the top numbers and then multiply the bottom numbers))
your answer

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply numerators

Multiply the top numbers (numerators): \(2 \times 1 = 2\)

Step2: Multiply denominators

Multiply the bottom numbers (denominators): \(6 \times 3 = 18\)

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Simplify \(\frac{2}{18}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. So \(\frac{2\div2}{18\div2}=\frac{1}{9}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{9}\)
