* Multiply tops: $2 \times 1 = 2$
* Multiply bottoms: $3 \times 4 = 12$
* Result: $\frac{2}{12}$ which simplifies to $\frac{1}{6}$
2. $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}$
* Multiply tops: $2 \times 1 = 2$
* Multiply bottoms: $3 \times 3 = 9$
* Result: $\frac{2}{9}$
3. $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 1 = 3$
* Multiply bottoms: $4 \times 5 = 20$
* Result: $\frac{3}{20}$
4. $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{4}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 1 = 3$
