Explanation:

To multiply fractions, we will multiply the numerators together, then we will multiply the denominators together.  Note that we do NOT need to find a common denominator.

So,

We must write 7 as a fraction.  We know that whole numbers can be written as fractions over 1.  So,

Now, we can multiply straight across.  We get

### Example Question #56 : How To Multiply Fractions

Multiply the following:

Explanation:

To multiply fractions, we will multiply the numerators together, then we will multiply the denominators together.  Note that we do NOT need to find a common denominator.

So, in the problem

We will first write 18 as a fraction.  We know that whole numbers can be written as a fraction over 1.  So, we get

Now, before we multiply, we can simplify to make things easier.  The 3 and the 18 can both be divided by 3.  We get

Now, we can multiply straight across.  We get
