Here are the solutions for the fraction multiplication problems. To solve these, you multiply the top numbers (numerators) together and the bottom numbers (denominators) together. Then, simplify the answer if possible.
1. $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3}$
* Multiply tops: $1 \times 1 = 1$
* Multiply bottoms: $3 \times 3 = 9$
* Answer:
$\frac{1}{9}$
2. $\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 3 = 9$
* Multiply bottoms: $4 \times 4 = 16$
* Answer:
$\frac{9}{16}$
3. $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{6}$
* Multiply tops: $5 \times 1 = 5$
* Multiply bottoms: $6 \times 6 = 36$
* Answer:
$\frac{5}{36}$
4. $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 3 = 9$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{9}{25}$
5. $\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{4}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $4 \times 4 = 16$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{16}{25}$
6. $\frac{3}{6} \times \frac{5}{6}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 5 = 15$
* Multiply bottoms: $6 \times 6 = 36$
* Result: $\frac{15}{36}$
* Simplify: Both numbers can be divided by 3. ($15 \div 3 = 5$ and $36 \div 3 = 12$)
* Answer:
$\frac{5}{12}$
7. $\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{3}{8}$
* Multiply tops: $1 \times 3 = 3$
* Multiply bottoms: $8 \times 8 = 64$
* Answer:
$\frac{3}{64}$
8. $\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{4}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $2 \times 4 = 8$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{8}{25}$
9. $\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{2}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $2 \times 2 = 4$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{4}{25}$
10. $\frac{3}{6} \times \frac{2}{6}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 2 = 6$
* Multiply bottoms: $6 \times 6 = 36$
* Result: $\frac{6}{36}$
* Simplify: Both numbers can be divided by 6. ($6 \div 6 = 1$ and $36 \div 6 = 6$)
* Answer:
$\frac{1}{6}$
11. $\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $1 \times 3 = 3$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{3}{25}$
12. $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{4}{6}$
* Multiply tops: $1 \times 4 = 4$
* Multiply bottoms: $6 \times 6 = 36$
* Result: $\frac{4}{36}$
* Simplify: Both numbers can be divided by 4. ($4 \div 4 = 1$ and $36 \div 4 = 9$)
* Answer:
$\frac{1}{9}$
13. $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}$
* Multiply tops: $3 \times 1 = 3$
* Multiply bottoms: $5 \times 5 = 25$
* Answer:
$\frac{3}{25}$
14. $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3}$
* Multiply tops: $2 \times 2 = 4$
* Multiply bottoms: $3 \times 3 = 9$
* Answer:
$\frac{4}{9}$
