To do this, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 12. The GCD of 18 and 12 is 6. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6:18\u00f7612\u00f76=32\\frac{18 \\div 6}{12 \\div 6} = \\frac{3}{2}12\u00f7618\u00f76\u200b=23\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The product of 23\u00d794\\frac{2}{3} \\times \\frac{9}{4}32\u200b\u00d749\u200b in simplest form is:32\\frac{3}{2}23\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiplying fractions involves multiplying the numerators and denominators directly. However, after multiplying, you should always check whether the resulting fraction can be simplified. Simplification helps ensure that the fraction is expressed in its simplest form, making it easier to work with in future calculations or problem-solving tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-429.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255396\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiply.
