A fraction represents a part of a whole and is written as 'a/b', where 'a' is the numerator (part) and 'b' is the denominator (whole).

Multiplying fractions involves multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together to find the product.

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, convert the whole number to a fraction (e.g., 3 becomes 3/1) and then multiply the fractions.

1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8.

To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor.

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, even though the numerator and denominator may be different.

The first step is to multiply the numerators together.
