Multiplying Fractions: 1/2 × 1/2 × 1/2
When we multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and multiply the denominators (the numbers on the bottom), like this:
(1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = ?
Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerators
1 × 1 × 1 = 1
Step 2: Multiply the denominators
2 × 2 × 2 = 8
Step 3: Write the result as a fraction
1/8
So, (1/2) × (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/8.
There you have it! The result of multiplying three 1/2 fractions together is 1/8.
