Question

# =

Hint:

### 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, Now, the product that we have got is not in its simplest form. For that we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by the HCF [ Highest Common Factor] of both the numbers, i.e., 6 in this question.Hence, we get Thus, the correct option is option (a)

Another approach to the question could be that first we can cut both the 3s, i.e., the 3 in the numerator of the first fraction and the 3 in the denominator of the second fraction. Also, we can reduce the 8 in the denominator of the first fraction and the 2 in the numerator in the second fraction. The 8 gets reduced to 4.
Hence,
Thus, option (a) is the correct option.
