Before diving into multiplying unit fractions, it’s important to understand what unit fractions are. A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1. For example, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 are all unit fractions. When multiplying unit fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator.
For example, if you have 1/2 and you multiply it by 1/3, you would get (1 * 1) / (2 * 3) = 1/6. This means that 1/2 multiplied by 1/3 equals 1/6.
