We want to multiply the following 2 fractions:

Multiplying 2 fractions involves multiplying both numerators divided by both denominators.

Fraction Multiplication Formula
Numerator 1 x Numerator 2
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2

Numerator 1 = 3,
Denominator 1 = 8,
Numerator 2 = 24,
Denominator 2 = 1, so we have:

3 x 24
8 x 1

Reduce our fraction
GCF(72 and 8) = 8
Reduce the numerator by GCF
(1/8) x 72 = 9
Reduce the denominator by GCF
(1/8) x 8 = 1
Build our reduced answer
Since our reduced answer is a whole number, we remove the one from the denominator and write it as:
Answer = 9
Final Answer

Answer = 9


What is the Answer?

Answer = 9
