so a vulgar fraction of what is 1/2 of 1/2 is [x(multiply) and 'of' mean the same in math]
1x1 on the top =1
2x2 on the bottom =4
So the answer would be 1/4
this is about the simplest equation
But if it was (more complicated) say 3/2 x 4/7
3x4 on top = 12
2x7 on the bottom =14
So the answer is 12/14
But that can be made easier by reducing it to the smallest numbers possible both of 12 & 14 can be divided by 2 (you have to be able to do the same to both numbers)
so 12/2 =6
& 14/2 = 7
so the answer is 12/14 reduced to 6/7 (which are both the same)
(Is it something like that?)
