What is the product of 7/8 and 4/21?

Solution

1. First, note that \"product\" refers to \"multiplication\"
2. Set up the equation
(7/8)(4/21) = ?
3. Multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators together
(7)(4)/(8)(21) = 28/168
4. Reduce the fraction buy factoring out (and thus cancelling) the greatest common factor (GCF)
(28)/(168) = (28)(1)/(28)(6)
5. The GCF, 28, cancels (as 28/28 is 1) and the resulting fraction is your answer
1/6
