Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re multiplying fractions, and the grid helps us visualize it — but we can also just multiply straight across: numerator × numerator, denominator × denominator.

Problem 1:
Already solved as example:
1/4 × 5/7 = (1×5)/(4×7) = 5/28
✔

Problem 2:
3/5 × 4/5
Multiply numerators: 3 × 4 = 12
Multiply denominators: 5 × 5 = 25
Answer:
12/25
---
Problem 3:
2/6 × 5/6
Numerators: 2 × 5 = 10
Denominators: 6 × 6 = 36
So, 10/36 → simplify! Both divisible by 2 →
5/18

Problem 4:
4/5 × 1/5
Numerators: 4 × 1 = 4
Denominators: 5 × 5 = 25
Answer:
4/25
---
Problem 5:
2/4 × 5/7
First, simplify 2/4 to 1/2 (optional, but easier).
Now: 1/2 × 5/7 = (1×5)/(2×7) = 5/14
Or without simplifying first: 2×5=10, 4×7=28 → 10/28 = 5/14
Answer:
5/14

Problem 6:
3/4 × 3/6
Simplify 3/6 to 1/2 first? Let’s do that:
3/4 × 1/2 = (3×1)/(4×2) = 3/8
Without simplifying: 3×3=9, 4×6=24 → 9/24 = 3/8
Answer:
3/8

Final Answer:
2. 12/25
3. 5/18
4. 4/25
5. 5/14
6. 3/8
