  1. 1 over 24
  2. 1 over 20 
  3. 1 over 22
  4. 2

hintHint:

In fraction multiplication, first we multiply the numerators of the given numbers. This product becomes the numerator of the product. Then we multiply the denominators of the given numbers, which becomes the denominator of the product. Thus, we get a product.

The correct answer is: 1 over 24


Step by step solution:
The way to multiply a fraction is by simply multiplying straight across. The product is also supposed to be a fraction so the numerator of the product will be the product of the numerators of the given numbers and the denominator of the product will be the product of the denominators of the given numbers.
In the given question, 1 fourth cross times 1 over 6 equals fraction numerator 1 cross times 1 over denominator 4 cross times 6 end fraction equals 1 over 24
Thus, option (a) is the correct option.

Multiply 5 over 6 cross times 5 over 5

In the question, another approach could be that we first reduce the second fraction 5 over 5 in its simplest form which is 1 ( because any number by the same number is always 1).
Now the expression becomes 5 over 6 cross times 1 which is equal to 5 over 6 as any number multiplies by 1 is always the number itself.
Thus, option (a) is the correct option.
