The key steps in fraction multiplication are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Convert any whole numbers into fractions (in this case, 15 becomes (\\frac{15}{1})).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multiply the numerators and denominators.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplying fractions is straightforward: you just multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. When the result is a fraction like (\\frac{30}{3}), you can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD (in this case, 3). In this example, (\\frac{30}{3}) simplifies to 10, which is the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process helps ensure that the multiplication and simplification steps are both clear and correct, turning a multiplication of fractions into a simple whole number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rewrite 2\/3 x 15 as a single fraction The Correct Answer and Explanation is: To rewrite the expression (\\frac{2}{3} \\times 15) as a single fraction, follow these steps: Step 1: Express 15 as a fraction Any whole number can be expressed as a fraction by placing it over 1.
