Problem: Multiply the fractions and simplify the results.
The worksheet provides a list of fraction multiplication problems. We will solve each problem step by step, following the guidelines for multiplying fractions:
1. Simplify the fractions if not in lowest terms.
2. Multiply the numerators to get the new numerator.
3. Multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.
4. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
