A fraction represents a part of a whole, consisting of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).

Multiplying fractions means finding a part of a part, which involves multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together.

To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.

1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6.

3/4 x 2/5 = 6/20 = 3/10 after simplification.

A model in mathematics is a visual representation that helps to understand mathematical concepts, such as area models for fractions.

Simplifying a fraction means reducing it to its simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1.
