Question

Find the correct answer \( \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{4} = \text{?} \)

• A. \(5/13 \)
• B. \(1/6 \)
• C. \(5/36 \)
• D. \(6/13 \)

Hint:

To minimize calculation mistakes, simplify the terms by canceling cross-multiples before multiplying them out! For example, simplify 2 with 4 to get 1 and 2, and 3 with 9 to get 1 and 3. Then simply calculate \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Multiply fractions.
$\dfrac{2}{9}\times\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{6}{36}=\dfrac{1}{6}$ \[ \boxed{1/6} \]
