1/4 times 1/3

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the product of two fractions, specifically 1/4 and 1/3. To solve this, we will multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Answer

\( \frac{1}{12} \)
Answer for screen readers

The final answer is ( \frac{1}{12} )

Steps to Solve

  1. Multiply the numerators of the fractions

The numerators are the top numbers of the fractions. For 1/4 and 1/3, multiply 1 by 1.

$$ 1 imes 1 = 1 $$

  1. Multiply the denominators of the fractions

The denominators are the bottom numbers of the fractions. For 1/4 and 1/3, multiply 4 by 3.

$$ 4 imes 3 = 12 $$

  1. Write the product as a fraction

The resulting fraction is the product of the two numerators over the product of the two denominators.

$$ \frac{1}{12} $$

The final answer is ( \frac{1}{12} )

More Information

Multiplying two fractions is straightforward: just multiply the numerators to get the new numerator, and the denominators to get the new denominator.

Tips

A common mistake is adding the fractions instead of multiplying them. Remember, the operation here is multiplication, not addition.
