Multiply 3/7 by 14/3.

Multiply 3/7 by 14/3.

• A. 2
• B. 14/21
• C. 1
• D. 7/3

Answer: (A)

When you multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. You can simplify first by canceling common factors across the two fractions to keep numbers small. Here, you can cancel a 3 present in the numerator of the first fraction with the 3 in the denominator of the second fraction, and you can cancel a 7 in the denominator of the first with the 14 in the numerator of the second. Doing that gives (3/7) * (14/3) → (1/1) * (2/1) = 2. Another way is to multiply straight across and then simplify: (3*14)/(7*3) = 42/21 = 2. So the product is 2.

So the product is 2.
